Thunes Expands Cross-Border Payouts to Six New Markets in the Middle East
Thunes has expanded its Direct Global Network into six new markets across the Middle East: Bahrain, Lebanon, Oman, South Yemen, Syria, and the UAE. This expansion enhances cross-border payment capabilities by enabling faster and more transparent transactions through bank accounts, mobile wallets, and cash pickup locations in local currencies. The move supports regional economic goals such as digital transformation initiatives like Oman Vision 2040 and Saudi Arabia's real-time payments rollout from last year. In remittance-dependent economies like Lebanon and South Yemen, Thunes provides critical financial access points that support both consumer needs and broader recovery efforts. Thunes leverages its SmartX Treasury System for AI-driven liquidity management and the Fortress Compliance Platform to ensure secure and compliant transactions across 50+ global licenses.
