Batelco General Manager Enterprise Abderrahmane Mounir said, “bwallet, the first of its kind in Bahrain to provide peer-to-peer money transfer, continues to grow in strength by adding value to all mobile users in the financial industry within the kingdom. The growing customer base has given us the opportunity to scale up and take bwallet to the next level by leveraging on the peer-to-peer service and develop international services whereby any mobile user can send funds and mobile prepaid top-ups to their family members and friends globally.”

“We are working very closely with our partners to add features that deliver value to mobile users for global services, and we aim to add additional new services in the future to engage our customers and deliver further enhancements and convenience,” he said.
