UAE-based financial super-app Jingle Pay has forged a strategic alliance with payments firm Mastercard to offer new digital payment solutions in the country.
Through the partnership, Jingle Pay users will be able to avail the Mastercard network, which has more than 90 million merchants worldwide.
Jingle Pay will also roll out physical and virtual cards to help people, with or without bank accounts, to make payments on a daily basis, as part of the alliance.
This will support financial inclusion in the UAE, noted Jingle Pay.
As per reports of the UAE Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Authority, nearly 1.7 million people do not have access to bank accounts in the UAE.
Mastercard cluster general manager for MENA East J.K. Khalil said: “We are delighted to join forces with Jingle Pay as we harness the power of innovation and technology in our efforts to connect one billion people to the digital economy by 2025.
