JazzCash, HomeSend partner

KARACHI: JazzCash, Mobilink’s Mobile Financial Services arm, has joined HomeSend to let its users receive international remittances directly in their Mobile Accounts, a statement said Monday.

JazzCash is the first mobile financial service provider to integrate with HomeSend, and offers real-time transfers. Customers can then cash-out from JazzCash’s 65,000-strong agent network, Jazz Experience Centres, Jazz Points, Mobilink Microfinance Bank branches (MMBL), and ATMs across Pakistan. In addition to that, users can avail cash-over-counter services as well as cash transfers to accounts of other banks.

Initially JazzCash users will be able to receive money transfers from the US and Europe; in the coming months, HomeSend will also enable retrieval of funds transferred from the Middle East.

Aniqa Afzal Sandhu, VP Digital and Mobile Financial Services, Mobilink, said, “With the addition of this service, we shall be adding a significant degree of convenience and reliability to families that rely on financial support from abroad to run their households.”

Stephen Doyle, CEO, HomeSend, said, “We look forward to connecting with JazzCash, our preferred collection partner in Pakistan, to continue assisting thousands of families, separated from their main breadwinner, by offering innovative money transfer services.”
