5/22/25, 9:34 AM Al Ansari Exchange and UnionPay International launch Real-Time Remittance Service to China via MoneyExpress

“Digital innovation is at the heart of our strategy, and the launch of MoneyExpress marks a significant step forward in cross-
border payment solutions,” says Ali Al Najjar, COO of Al Ansari Exchange. “By directly integrating with UnionPay’s
network, we are removing traditional barriers to remittance, delivering a faster, more cost-effective, and customer-centric

solution that strengthens our position as a digital leader in financial services.”

“We are pleased to partner with Al Ansari Exchange to introduce MoneyExpress in the UAE,” says Luping Zhang, General
Manager of Middle East of UnionPay International. “This service offers customers a secure, real-time, and cost-effective way
to send money to China. With upfront exchange rate settlement and direct crediting in RMB, it simplifies the process and

eliminates hidden fees, enhancing convenience for senders and recipients alike.”

Unlike traditional remittance channels, MoneyExpress guarantees the exchange rate upfront and credits the recipient’s
UnionPay card in Chinese renminbi (RMB) instantly, without intermediary or bank handling fees. This provides customers

with greater cost transparency and immediate access to their funds.

With a network of over 270 branches and digital channels across the UAE, Al Ansari Exchange combines deep market
expertise with advanced compliance standards to offer seamless financial services. This milestone and strategic partnership
between Al Ansari Exchange and UnionPay International paves the way for future collaborations that will expand secure and

efficient payment solutions across new corridors.
