Botim’s first mobile operator partnership in Egypt connects UAE senders to Orange Cash’s users
Botim, the UAE’s leading fintech platform has announced a partnership with Orange Egypt, enabling users in the UAE to send international money transfers directly to Orange Cash wallets in Egypt.
The collaboration marks Botim’s first partnership with a mobile operator in Egypt and strengthens its remittance offering across one of its five largest international corridors.
With over 2 million Egyptian users on Botim, the partnership connects an established UAE-based Egyptian community with Orange Cash’s approximately 10 million users in Egypt, expanding access to convenient digital remittances between the two markets.
International remittances
Through the partnership, customers in the UAE will be able to send international remittances via Botim, with beneficiaries in Egypt receiving the funds directly into their Orange Cash wallets.
Once received, customers can benefit from a simple and secure digital transfer experience, with access to their funds and the flexibility to use them for a wide range of everyday financial needs, including money transfers, payments and purchases, or to withdraw cash.
Remittance corridors
“Egypt is already among our top five remittance corridors, and partnering with Orange Cash, with its established reach in the market, brings us one step closer to making cross-border transfers as seamless as domestic payments,” stated Hesham Sherif, VP, Consumer Payments and Wealth, Botim.
“Combined with ongoing cashback offers and grand-prize promotions, Orange Cash continues to deliver greater value for everyday financial needs,” commented Ahmed El Abd, Chief Consumer BU Officer, Orange Egypt.
The partnership builds on Orange Egypt’s ongoing efforts to expand the capabilities of Orange Cash and broaden access to innovative, secure digital financial services. It also supports the wider drive toward financial inclusion and the adoption of accessible digital financial solutions in Egypt, the press note concluded.
