CWallet Services has been accepted into Qatar Central Bank’s (QCB) Sandbox Program, allowing the award-winning Fintech startup to test its capabilities to issue mobile phone wallets to customers and merchants over a six-month trial environment.
It will also allow CWallet users to pay bills, recharge, and conduct QR code payments to merchants and perform cross-border money transfers through its CWallet Mobile Money App.
QCB’s endorsement of the trial is provisional upon CWallet issuing its mobile money wallets in partnership with a QCB licensed bank and providing money transfer services via QCB licensed exchange companies.
In accordance with this, CWallet has signed a service level agreement with Al Dar Exchange, a pioneering leader in the Qatar remittance and money exchange market. The partnership covers remittance services in CWallet Mobile Money, regulatory compliance, policy and procedure, cybersecurity and information technology, consulting, and business collaboration, cash-in, cash-out and prepaid card business, as well as VISA Direct connectivity.
