The collaboration enabled customers to use the WorldRemit website or application for international remittances to the Alipay application, bringing convenience and inclusion transfer services to users across the globe. The collaboration with WorldRemit is another step in Alipay's efforts to harness the power of mobile and digital technology to make financial services more affordable and inclusive, particularly for underbanked individuals worldwide.
