The success of Yalla Super App in the Egyptian market since its launch in the first quarter of the current year was one of the main drivers of expansion in the UAE. In addition to the behavioral change of customers as a result of the pandemic and their preference to carry out most of their daily tasks remotely through digital solutions. As well as the tremendous efforts exerted by the UAE government to adopt, implement and promote digital solutions and support digital transformation in various domains.

“This expansion is based on extensive research done by the company to explore and satisfy the unmet needs of the UAE residents and corporates by providing them with different financial and non-financial services. This step came after the remarkable achievements of Yalla Super App and Yalla Card in Egypt, where the number of downloads exceeded 800,000 downloads in the first 100 days after its launch, with a total number of transactions exceeding 500,000 and a transaction volume exceeding half a billion EGP.”

“We believe in the importance of strategic partnerships between the service providers to develop the market and facilitate transactions and this is manifested in our strategic partnership with Visa, as making financial services simple, frictionless and seamless for the residents and corporates is the main aim for launching the application in the UAE. This serves as one step forward towards executing PaySky’s pursuit of market leadership & transforming financial services for individuals and businesses in the MEA region, and this market launch also acts as a platform for wider global expansions to ultimately achieve PaySky’s vision of serving 1 billion consumers and 1 million businesses with the best-of-breed digital financial services and solutions.”
