“Digital wallets have transformed how people move money, yet they remain largely disconnected across borders. This fragmentation limits their potential to make international remittances more accessible and affordable. At Botim, we’re working to bridge that gap by building a network that connects users in the UAE directly to their families preferred digital wallets back home. Egypt is already among our top five remittance corridors, and partnering with Orange Cash, with its established reach in the market, brings us one step closer to making cross-border transfers as seamless as domestic payments.”

By combining Botim’s reach in the UAE with Orange Cash’s established wallet network in Egypt, the partnership creates a direct connection between senders and beneficiaries, making it easier for families to receive, access and manage money sent from abroad.
