e& Egypt launches instant international money transfer via digital wallet
Egypt - e& Egypt has launched its first instant international money transfer service through the e& Cash digital wallet, marking a transformative step in how remittances are received in Egypt.
This new feature allows customers to receive money from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia instantly and securely, without needing to visit branches or intermediaries.
The move positions e& Egypt as the first to introduce such a service within the regional network of the e& Group, offering users a fully digital and frictionless experience. This innovation comes as part of a broader strategy aligned with the Central Bank of Egypt's efforts to promote financial inclusion and reduce the nation's reliance on cash-based transactions.
Developed in partnership with Banque du Caire, the company's banking partner, the service is expected to significantly enhance access to digital financial tools for millions of users—particularly those who depend on remittances from family members abroad. The seamless integration allows customers to receive funds instantly with a single tap, offering a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional remittance channels.
Ahmed Yehia, CEO of e& Financial Technology and Digital Applications, said the launch underscores e& Egypt's commitment to providing innovative digital financial solutions that prioritize ease, speed, and security. He noted that enabling instant transfers from the UAE and Saudi Arabia is a critical milestone in the company's mission to promote financial inclusion and deliver meaningful value to its customers.
'This service reflects our dedication to reshaping financial services in the region and empowering users with tools that meet their everyday needs,' Yehia said. 'It's not just about speed—it's about building trust and accessibility.'
The new service is now live for all e& Cash wallet users in Egypt. Beyond convenience, customers also have the opportunity to win prizes of up to EGP 1m as part of the launch campaign. e& Egypt has confirmed that it plans to expand the service to include additional remittance corridors in the near future.
By simplifying cross-border money transfers and integrating them into a secure, digital platform, e& Egypt is taking a significant step forward in reshaping how people in Egypt engage with their finances—bridging distances and bringing families closer through technology.

Murena's /e/OS 3.0 Enhances Privacy and Parental Oversight
Murena has unveiled /e/OS 3.0, the latest iteration of its open-source, privacy-centric mobile operating system. This update introduces a suite of features aimed at bolstering user privacy and providing enhanced parental controls, positioning /e/OS as a compelling alternative for those seeking to minimize reliance on mainstream tech ecosystems. A notable addition is the integration of Murena Find, a search engine powered by Qwant. Operating in a default 'no tracking' mode, it ensures that user search activities remain private, aligning with /e/OS's commitment to data protection. The update also brings a speech-to-text messaging feature, allowing users to dictate messages hands-free. This functionality is particularly beneficial for users engaged in activities where manual typing is impractical. ADVERTISEMENT Addressing concerns about device loss, /e/OS 3.0 introduces a Find My Device feature that operates via SMS. This allows users to locate their devices without requiring an internet connection, enhancing the practicality of device recovery in various scenarios. Parental controls have been significantly refined in this release. Guardians can now set restrictions on app installations and screen time, with applications rated as 'PG' necessitating a security code for installation. This added layer of control aids in managing children's digital interactions more effectively. For users utilizing larger screens, the new Tablet Mode offers an optimized interface, improving navigation and multitasking capabilities. This enhancement ensures that the user experience remains consistent across different device formats. The Advanced Privacy feature has been upgraded to provide weekly reports on app tracking behaviors and an overall Privacy Score. Users can also customize geolocation access on a per-app basis, choosing to share either their actual location or a fabricated one, thereby exercising greater control over their personal data. Murena Vault, an experimental cloud storage solution powered by CryptPad, is introduced in this update. Offering end-to-end encryption, it facilitates secure file storage and real-time collaboration, underscoring Murena's dedication to user data security. Gaël Duval, founder of /e/OS and CEO of Murena, emphasized the company's ethos, stating, 'We believe that technology should serve people, not the other way around. With this new version of /e/OS, we are raising the bar even higher in our powerful proposition for a healthier, more ethical, and user-first digital life.'

India's Modi says he's received invitation for G7 summit in Canada
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he looked forward to meeting his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney during the Group of Seven summit, after the latter invited him to the gathering over a phone call on Friday. India is not a part of the grouping but can be invited as a guest to its annual gathering, which will be held this year in Kananaskis in the Canadian province of Alberta, from June 15-17. "Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister (Carney)...thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this forward to our meeting at the Summit," Modi said in a post on X. The invitation suggests that both sides want to rebuild ties, which have nosedived in the last two years after Canada accused India of involvement undefined in a Sikh separatist leader's murder, and of attempting to interfere in the country's 2019 and 2021 elections. New Delhi denied both allegations. Modi also stated in his post that India and Canada would work together "with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests". India is Canada's 10th largest trading partner and Canada is the biggest exporter of pulses, including lentils, to India. Ottawa holds the rotational G7 presidency this year.
