Jingle Pay, a UAE-based fintech company, has joined forces with Western Union to enable the delivery of international remittances from selected markets into bank accounts and mobile wallets. 

As part of the agreement, Jingle Pay will become a “key partner” in supporting Western Union’s cross-border money transfer operations.  

Both Jingle Pay and Western Union are also examining opportunities to expand their services to include additional corridors that are in high demand, the press release said.  

Jingle Pay CEO Amir Fardghassemi said: “This partnership is a defining milestone in Jingle Pay’s journey. Being selected by Western Union to deliver their transactions from multiple send markets is a testament to our platform’s reliability and scale. We’re proud to enable faster and more accessible remittance experiences for communities that depend on cross-border support.” 

Western Union Europe, Middle East and Africa president Giovanni Angelini stated: 
“At Western Union, we are committed to connecting customers with their loved ones around the world through fast, convenient and trusted global money transfer services. Collaborating with Jingle Pay is an important step in furthering this commitment, expanding access to financial services and driving greater financial inclusion where it matters most.” 

Jingle Pay has been offering a range of financial services that include instant account creation, international money transfers, and bill payment options. 

The partnership follows Pakistani lender Bank Alfalah’s 9.9% equity stake acquisition in Jingle Pay in January.  

Jingle Pay is backed by a diverse group of investors, including MoneyGram and G42-backed Applied AI
