Payments infrastructure company TerraPay has teamed up with Bank Alfalah to launch home remittance services to Pakistan.

Through the alliance, Pakistani migrants can make fund transfers to all bank accounts at home. They will use TerraPay’s partner outlets as well as the mobile app or website.

Users can access the service round-the-clock.

Commenting on the partnership, Bank Alfalah’s group head for corporate, investment banking & international business group Bilal Asghar stated: “It gives us immense pleasure to partner with TerraPay, another institution co-sponsored by IFC, to enhance our global coverage and make international remittances more convenient for [all] bank account holders and unbanked customers in Pakistan.

TerraPay founder and CEO Ambar Sur said: “We are committed to our vision of enhancing financial inclusion by connecting diverse payment systems.

“Pakistan is one of the most important remittance corridors in the world and we are very excited to partner with Bank Alfalah and help overseas Pakistani diaspora send money back home through our real time, secure and reliable payment infrastructure.”
