areeba has partnered with Wallet Factory to launch Zaky, the new mobile payment platform, enabling mobile payments in Lebanon.
Zaky is a mobile wallet app that allows consumers and merchants to send and receive instant payments. Zaky is the first digital wallet to be licensed and approved by the Central Bank of Lebanon.
After downloading Zaky, the user can open an ewallet in Lebanese Pounds or US Dollars. To top-up Zaky or withdraw money, the user links the banking card to the app. Among other features, Zaky also allows the card to card transfers or e-money to e-money account transfer. The recipient will instantly receive an SMS or an in-app notification about the money transfer.
Additionally Zaky also allows the recharge of local and international mobile numbers, in addition to the access to in-app and offline payments. Zaky users can make in-app payments for games, gift cards, and online platform subscriptions.
Mr. Maher Mikati, areeba’s CEO commented “areeba’s main mission is to empower a cashless world. Since our inception, we are continuously innovating and launching new products. Zaky is our latest addition to our stable of great products, always having the end user in mind, simplifying their daily lives by introducing simpler, safer, and quicker payment methods.
Zaky is the first digital wallet to be licensed and approved by the Central Bank of Lebanon, which is a great vote of confidence in areeba and its team.
Zaky enables instant person to person transfers, which is a first in Lebanon. Zaky is loaded with a lot of other features, with many more planned in the roadmap.”
During the second release phase of Zaky, areeba will be adding new features such as cash loading, bill payment and QR payments to pay merchants directly in offline locations.
