The service will enable individuals and small businesses in the Middle East to transfer funds to eligible overseas-issued Visa cardholders globally in real time via a visa credit, debit or prepaid card.
The new service leverages SABB’s digital banking platform and Visa’s global reach to provide innovative approach in global payment convenience.
The remittance service will be available across countries including the UAE, UK, India, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
SABB will initially offer this service for free of charge for the first two months through SABB’s website, mobile applications and ATM machines.
