This marks the commencement of a long-term collaboration between JazzCash and du Pay, setting the stage for future collaborations to advance accessibility and innovation in the digital financial services landscape.

Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO of du, said: “As a leading digital telco, we are committed to delivering exceptional services and solutions to our customers, and we believe this partnership between du Pay and JazzCash, a leading mobile money operator in Pakistan, will ensure streamlined customer experience with great benefits. du Pay will offer a simplified and secure digital service that will advance financial inclusion and positively impact the lives of Pakistani nationals.”

With a diverse suite of services, including international money transfers, peer-to-peer (P2P) transfers, mobile top-ups, bill payments, and salary deposits through an IBAN, du Pay ensures versatility and inclusivity.
