Global payments firm Nium<\/a> and Emirates NBD<\/a> are stepping up their cross-border payments push in the MENAT region, widening access to real-time transfers in the UAE and preparing for a launch in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The partnership, first announced in 2024, has now been extended to Emirates Islamic Bank, broadening access to real-time payouts across the UAE.<\/p>\n

Emirates NBD also confirmed it is preparing to roll out the service in Saudi Arabia through Emirates NBD Bank KSA, subject to regulatory approval from the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA).<\/p>\n

The UAE remains one of the world\u2019s largest remittance hubs, with outbound flows exceeding US$50 billion in 2023, according to the World Bank.<\/p>\n

With expatriates making up nearly 90 percent of the country\u2019s population, demand for faster, more reliable and affordable international transfers continues to rise.<\/p>\n
