Newport, South Wales – 21st May 2020 –
W2, the leading provider of real-time digital solutions for global regulatory compliance, announced today that it has joined forces with neobanking group Jingle Pay to power a new digital solution for the unbanked and underbanked in the U.A.E.
Addressing financial exclusion by offering the unbanked/underbanked population access to a paperless bank account within minutes from registering, Jingle Pay are planning to aggregate a number of financial services, such as a multi-currency card, P2P payments for sharing and splitting bills with friends , access to cheaper and transparent remittance/exchange services, micro/nano financing and other value added services within a social network mobile application.
Sharing details of the banking solution, Amir Fardghassemi, Jingle Pay Founder & CEO, stated “The Jingle Pay Super app delivers a personalized consumer journey powered by the cutting-edge technologies of W2. We’re looking to give an overlooked audience a convenient, cost-effective and safe alternative to a traditional bank account and accessibility to core financial services/products which can improve their welfare.”
