Ooredoo Fintech and PayPal have announced their intent to collaborate in the Maldives, marking a significant step toward enhancing cross-border digital financial services in the country.
The partnership, expected to go live in 2026, will allow consumers in the Maldives to shop with PayPal merchants globally and transfer funds seamlessly between their PayPal and m-Faisaa accounts. The collaboration also aims to open new opportunities for Maldivian businesses by enabling them to sell to international customers, further integrating the nation into the global digital economy.
“As the Maldives accelerates its digital transformation, enabling cross-border transactions is a critical enabler for both our citizens and businesses,” said Khalid Al Hamadi, CEO and Managing Director of Ooredoo Maldives. “With Ooredoo Fintech and PayPal announcing their intent to collaborate towards linking PayPal wallets to local m-Faisaa wallets, this is an exciting time for individuals and businesses in the Maldives.”
The initiative represents a milestone in the Maldives’ journey toward a fully digital economy, empowering both consumers and enterprises to engage in global e-commerce and financial networks.
