Grab旗下金融部门即将推出汇款服务
近日，东南亚共享出行平台Grab宣布，旗下金融服务部门即将于2019年年初上线汇款服务。
作为该地区首个电子钱包间的汇款产品，Grab将允许银行和无银行账户的发件人使用他们的GrabPay钱包直接向另一个国家的收款人进行快速汇款，而且收款人可以立即进行取现或者通过GrabPay直接进行消费。
Grab将作为用户汇款的担保人承担全部责任。
此外据了解，Grab还计划在随后发行一个多货币的“东盟旅行钱包”，供游客和国际工作者在该地区使用。
Grab today unveiled its remittance offering under its financial services arm. This marks a significant milestone towards Grab’s vision for one ASEAN e-wallet that will deepen financial inclusion for the region’s growing middle-class consumers and micro-entrepreneurs.
As the region’s first wallet-to-wallet remittance product, Grab’s remittance product will allow both banked and unbanked senders to remit money instantly and securely to receivers in another country using their GrabPay wallets. As opposed to existing options in the market, receivers can access transferred funds instantaneously.
Recipients will be able to cash out the remitted sum, or use it to make payments and complete transactions directly from their GrabPay wallet.
Grab, which will take overall responsibility as the guarantor for transferred funds, said the remittance product will be followed by a multi-currency “ASEAN travel-wallet” that tourists and international workers can use across the region.
Grab said the remittance feature will go live in early 2019.
