Now Money (UAE)

Now Money offers digital payroll, account and remittance service for low-income workers, migrants and the unbanked.

Migrant workers make up 88% of the population of the UAE, yet many don’t meet the minimum salary requirements for a traditional bank account. Without access to banking services, workers are put at a distinct disadvantage as much more time, effort, cost and risk is involved in managing their money. Now Money is UAE’s first digital payroll and banking service for migrant workers – with no minimum salary requirement.
