Money can be transferred from AED into USD from a Careem account to a mobile number
Careem Pay, the digital wallet and fintech platform within the Careem Everything App, has introduced a new international remittance service to Lebanon in partnership with the Purpl digital wallet.
Money can be transferred from AED into USD from a Careem account to a mobile number linked to a Purpl wallet in Lebanon, removing the need for a recipient bank account.
The service is designed to address the ongoing financial challenges faced by the Lebanese community, offering a solution for unbanked users as well as those with refugee documentation.
“Our partnership with Purpl enables us to provide a fast, reliable, and inclusive solution for sending money home when it’s needed most,” noted Mo Elsaadi, VP, Careem Pay.
“We at Purpl want to put all our capabilities to facilitate these transactions to Lebanon, and we are deeply convinced that this partnership with Careem will help us reach that,” commented Wissam Ghorra, Co-founder and CEO, Purpl.
Careem Pay launched its remittance service in 2023 and now offers instant transfers to India, Pakistan, the Philippines, the UK, and Europe, a press statement concluded.
