WorldRemit has announced it is now offering customers the ability to send funds to friends and family in Indonesia who use Indosat’s Dompetku Mobile Money service.
Indosat Dompetku account holders will receive the money on their phone within minutes of it being sent. The balance can then be used to make mobile payments or it can be withdrawn as cash at over 50,000 locations, including ATMs.
WorldRemit’s Founder and CEO, Ismail Ahmed, said: “WorldRemit is delivering money transfers for a connected world and increasingly that means Mobile Money. Indonesia has embraced this technology and we are happy that our customers can now take advantage of the speed and convenience that Indosat’s Dompetku service offers.”
“Money sent from overseas is an important part of life for many people in Indonesia and WorldRemit provides the widest range of ways to receive it – from bank transfer and cash pickup to mobile airtime top-up and now Mobile Money.” He added.
