Ooredoo Fintech has launched a month-long zero-fee international money transfer initiative through mFaisaa, aimed at easing financial support to communities impacted by the recent cyclone across the region. The offer, available from 1 December to 31 December 2025, allows customers in the Maldives to send money to Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand without paying any transfer fees.
The company said the decision was driven by the need to provide timely and affordable assistance to families and communities recovering from the severe weather conditions. Transfers are facilitated through mFaisaa’s international money remittance service, powered by MoneyGram, enabling funds to be sent abroad within minutes directly via mobile phone.
Customers can transfer up to USD 10,000 per day using a fully digital process that removes the need for paperwork or queues, with real-time tracking available through the mFaisaa app. After adding funds to their wallet, users simply enter recipient details and complete the transaction with immediate confirmation.
Ooredoo Maldives CEO and Managing Director, Khalid Al-Hamadi, said the initiative recognises the close cultural and community links the Maldives shares with neighbouring countries affected by the cyclone. “By removing transfer fees and enabling instant, secure digital remittances, we hope to make it easier for people to support those who need help the most during this difficult time,” he said.
The initiative forms part of Ooredoo’s broader push to use digital financial services for social impact and greater regional connectivity.
