Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: botim money announced a strategic partnership with Mastercard to expand its international remittance services, allowing users in the UAE to send money to more than 150 countries directly through the botim app.

As per a recent press release, the integration enables transfers to bank accounts, mobile wallets, or cash pickup locations, depending on the destination market. The move strengthens botim money’s push to embed financial services into its communication platform and deliver faster, more accessible cross-border payments.

Tariq Bin Hendi, Board Member of Astra Tech and CEO of botim, said the partnership supports botim’s mission to unify communication and finance within a single ecosystem, while making money transfers faster, safer, and more inclusive, particularly for users with limited access to traditional financial services.
