Pesa, the trusted international fintech platform known for delivering fast, secure, and low-cost cross-border money transfers, has officially launched operations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This strategic move includes the introduction of the Pesa AED Wallet, designed specifically to serve the Nigerian diaspora living and working in Dubai.
This launch empowers Nigerians in the UAE to send money home to Nigeria quickly and conveniently while also receiving funds locally in Dubai. The expansion is aligned with Pesa’s ongoing mission to make global remittances feel local—intuitive, affordable, and deeply connected to the communities it serves.
