Sending mobile phone credits abroad (or vice versa) is now available through a new service introduced by BoB Finance, the financial institution owned by Bank of Beirut. <br /><br />BoB Finance partnered with ‘TransferTo', a global airtime remittance hub, to offer cross-border mobile top-up service.<br /><br />To carry out a cross-border phone credit transfer, the sender needs to go to a BoB Finance branch and provide the mobile phone number of the recipient and the desired amount with which to top-up the recipient's mobile phone account. The transaction is processed in real-time through TransferTo's secure platform. The recipient is notified by SMS of the number of credits received.<br /><br />The service will allow the country's expatriate community, foreigners residing in the country, and visitors to send mobile phone top-ups to other people in 50 countries around the globe, including Africa and south-east Asia.<br /><br /><br />Reported by Hani Bathiche<br />
