MoneyGram<\/a>, a US-based global payments network, has announced a partnership with tiqmo, a financial technology firm headquartered in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The collaboration allows tiqmo users in the Kingdom to send international money transfers to more than 200 countries and territories through MoneyGram\u2019s global infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The integration gives tiqmo users access to over five billion digital endpoints and more than 480,000 MoneyGram locations worldwide, with support for transactions in over 120 currencies.<\/p>\n

Customers will be able to send funds through a range of methods, including bank account and digital wallet transfers, mobile top-ups, cash pick-ups, and bill payments.<\/p>\n

Launched in 2024, tiqmo is licensed by the Saudi Central Bank and has rapidly grown into a prominent digital wallet in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East and North Africa region.<\/p>\n

The firm cited MoneyGram\u2019s global reach and operational footprint in Saudi Arabia, one of the world\u2019s largest remittance-sending countries, as key reasons for the partnership.<\/p>\n

According to the World Bank, Saudi Arabia was the second-largest source of remittances globally in 2022, with over US$39 billion sent abroad.<\/p>\n

The new service is expected to serve users remitting funds to high-volume corridors, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Egypt, Indonesia and Nepal.<\/p>\n
