“Historically, cross-border money transfers to Pakistan have been complicated by the lack of transparency, long waiting times, and burdened with hidden fees.
We are glad to create infrastructure that will benefit families, remote workers and communities across the nation who depend on money sent from overseas for their livelihoods,”
said Andrew Stewart, Global Head of Networks, Thunes.
“Bank Alfalah is collaborating with Thunes to provide the most automated and seamless cross-border payments experience to Pakistanis.
This solution reinforces our commitment to provide smarter and faster ways of sending remittances to Pakistan using digital innovation.”
said Saad Ur Rahman Khan, Group Head – Corporate, Investment Banking and International Business, Bank Alfalah.
