Dubai’s taxi service, Hala has introduced the ‘Careem Pay‘ digital wallet for Captains to fast-track trips, bonuses and guarantees.
Currently, 14,000 Captains have been given access to the service and over 17,000 Captains are expected to have access by the end of July.
Captains benefit from Careem Pay
The digital wallet will enable Captains to receive payments up to twice a week directly to their Careem Pay wallets. Prior to the introduction of ‘Careem Pay’ for Captains, they would receive tips ad bonuses monthly.
Careem Pay allows users to pay bills, recharge mobile plans, and transfer money and remittances with no transaction fees, directly through the Careem application.
The platform also enables international money transfers at favorable exchange rates and without any charges. Currently, Captains have the convenience to remit money to Pakistan, benefiting around 70% of the entire Captains’ community.
Moreover, additional countries are in the pipeline to offer this service in the near future.
Khaled Nuseibeh, Chief Executive Officer at Hala said, “At Hala, we are deeply committed to the wellbeing of our Captains as we work to build a people-first culture. We have thus decided to launch this initiative for Captains to be able to receive remuneration more frequently and with ease. We are working with our partners to further expand the countries of remit to ensure we are catering to everyone equally.”
