e& Egypt has unveiled its first instant international money transfer service through the e& Cash digital wallet.

This new feature enables users to receive money instantly and securely from the UAE and Saudi Arabia – eliminating the need to visit physical branches or rely on intermediaries.

With this move, e& Egypt becomes the first entity within the regional e& Group network to introduce such a service, offering a fully digital and seamless experience.

The innovation supports the Central Bank of Egypt’s broader strategy to enhance financial inclusion and reduce dependence on cash-based transactions.

Launched in partnership with Banque du Caire, e& Egypt’s banking partner, the service is expected to significantly improve access to digital financial tools – particularly for millions of Egyptians who rely on remittances from relatives abroad.

With seamless integration, users can receivBe funds instantly with just one tap, presenting a faster, more convenient alternative to traditional remittance methods.

Ahmed Yehia, CEO of e& Financial Technology and Digital Applications, highlighted the significance of the launch:

“This service reflects our dedication to reshaping financial services in the region and empowering users with tools that meet their everyday needs,”

Yehia said.

“It’s not just about speed – it’s about building trust and accessibility.”

He further emphasised that enabling instant transfers from the UAE and Saudi Arabia marks a key milestone in e& Egypt’s mission to deliver innovative digital financial solutions focused on ease, speed, and security.

The service is now live for all e& Cash wallet users in Egypt.

In addition to convenience, customers stand a chance to win prizes of up to EGP 1 million as part of the launch campaign. e& Egypt has also confirmed plans to expand the service to include additional remittance corridors in the near future.
