Thunes, Al Fardan ExchangeAl Fardan Exchange, one of the largest money transfer and currency exchange firms in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), announced a partnership with Thunes, a global leader in cross-border payments, enabling Al Fardan Exchange customers to make seamless payments to 87 countries.

They will be able to make payouts to bank accounts, mobile wallets and cash pick-up points across 87 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific and Latin America. These new services tap into growing customer demand for alternative payments and positions Al Fardan Exchange at the forefront of UAE’s rapidly evolving financial services space.
