At 3.5 million people, the United Arab Emirates is home to the largest population of Indian migrants globally, making the UAE the top source of remittances for India.
Recognizing a need to enhance the cross-border payments experience in one of the biggest remittance corridors in the world, LuLu Exchange, a leading Abu Dhabi-based financial services provider partnered with leading Indian private sector financial institution Federal Bank.
Through RippleNet Cloud, cross-border transactions into India made through LuLu Exchange’s 76 branches in the UAE and the LuLu Money mobile payments app are faster and more reliable.
“Our long-standing association with Ripple has opened up plenty of avenues for us to solidify our presence in existing and new corridors, and the latest partnership is a step forward in providing our customers the best possible experience for their payment needs to India,” said Adeeb Ahamed, LuLu Financial Group Managing Director.
LuLu Exchange joins dozens of financial institutions already running on RippleNet Cloud.
