Careem's New UAE Feature - Send Money Fast to Jordan!
Careem Pay, the fintech arm of the UAE-based super app Careem, has officially launched international money transfers to Jordan, adding to its growing network of remittance corridors. This move marks a significant milestone in the region's digital finance ecosystem, especially ahead of Arafah Day and Eid Al Adha, a time that typically sees a spike in cross-border financial activity.
Fast, Affordable Money Transfers to Jordan
UAE residents can now send up to AED 25,000 per transaction directly to any Jordanian bank account with a valid IBAN using the Careem app. Funds are delivered in Jordanian Dinars (JOD) and are processed within 24 hours, offering both speed and reliability.

For repeat users, Careem charges a flat AED 10 fee per transaction. Meanwhile, Careem Plus subscribers benefit from zero fees on transfers above AED 1,500 and discounted rates for smaller amounts. To encourage adoption, first-time users enjoy no transfer fees on their first two transactions to Jordan.
Strengthening a Key Remittance Corridor
With a substantial Jordanian expatriate population living and working in the UAE, annual remittances to Jordan often exceed $1 billion, making it one of the top remittance routes in the region. Jordan now joins Careem Pay's expanding network of outbound corridors, which includes countries like India, Pakistan, the UK, the Philippines, Lebanon, Egypt, and several parts of Europe.
By tapping into this critical corridor, Careem enhances financial inclusion and provides a much-needed service to expatriates seeking convenient and cost-effective money transfer solutions.
A Boost to UAE's Fintech and Digital Remittance Ecosystem
This launch underscores the UAE's momentum in fintech innovation, especially in the remittance space. Digital-first platforms like Careem Pay are transforming how money is sent across borders—offering faster, cheaper, and more accessible alternatives to traditional banks and exchange houses.
The timing of this launch also aligns with broader government efforts to promote cashless economies, empower digital wallets, and support financial inclusion across the MENA region.
