Challenges faced by the underbanked migrant population Migrant workers in the Middle East, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, often face significant challenges in accessing traditional banking services. Many of these workers lack the necessary documentation or income stability required by conventional banks, leaving them dependent on cash-based transactions.

This reliance on cash not only poses security risks but also limits their ability to save and manage their finances effectively. Additionally, high remittance costs further strain their limited resources, making it expensive to send money back home to support their families. These barriers contribute to the financial exclusion of a large segment of the migrant population, preventing them from fully participating in the formal economy.

NOW Money addresses these challenges by providing accessible digital banking and payroll solutions tailored to the needs of underbanked migrant workers. Through its mobile platform, NOW Money offers secure, low-cost financial services, including digital payments, remittances, and savings options. By eliminating the need for traditional bank accounts and reducing transaction fees, NOW Money helps migrant workers take control of their finances, promoting financial inclusion and improving their economic stability.

The platform’s user-friendly interface and multilingual support further ensure that these services are accessible to a diverse and often underserved population. .
