“botim money-Mastercard collaboration strengthens our mission to unify communication and finance under one smart ecosystem. By embedding global remittances into botim, we’re making money transfer faster, safer, and more inclusive, especially for users who have limited financial access. This collaboration reiterates our commitment to making financial services accessible, intuitive, and empowering for everyone.”
Gina Petersen-Skyrme, Country Manager, UAE & Oman at Mastercard, stated that, “Cross-border payments serve as a lifeline between expats in markets like the UAE and their families back home.”
“At Mastercard, we provide communities with fast, convenient, secure, and affordable ways to transfer money internationally. Our collaborations with innovative fintech players such as botim play a key role in promoting financial inclusion by bringing this essential financial service to people’s fingertips,” Gina added.
This initiative combines Mastercard’s global infrastructure with botim’s expanding financial ecosystems, allowing users across the UAE to transfer funds internationally with just a few taps.
By keeping cross-border payments within the botim experience, users can transfer funds without leaving the app or switching between service providers, reducing both time and transaction complexity.
