In this regard, Emirates NBD customers will be able to send money to more than 40 countries across Europe, Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, according to a press release.

These services include real-time money transfers without delays or uncertainty, the ability to send money anytime, anywhere through the ENBD X Mobile Banking App or Online Banking, competitive exchange rates, and trusted round-the-clock reliability backed by secure global infrastructure.

Yousuf Saeed Mohd, Group Head of Personal and Priority Banking and Retail Banking Sales at Emirates NBD, said: “By launching these new, near real-time remittance corridors, we are not just improving a service; we are strengthening vital connections between people and their loved ones across continents."

DirectRemit has revolutionized how Emirates NBD customers send money home since its launch in 2014.
