As a major regional trade and re-export hub, the UAE plays an important role in connecting Chinese trade with Africa and wider emerging markets. XTransfer’s presence in the UAE will further strengthen its ability to support trade flows between China, the Middle East, and Africa, providing businesses with more accessible and reliable cross-border payment services.
“Receiving conditional approval from the Central Bank of the UAE is a key milestone for XTransfer’s global regulatory expansion,” said Bill Deng, Founder and CEO of XTransfer. “The UAE is one of the world’s most important trade hubs and an essential gateway between Asia, the Middle East and Africa. This approval reinforces our confidence in the UAE market and its long-term growth potential across the region.”
Following successful licensing across major trade hubs in Asia and Europe, the UAE licence marks another important milestone in XTransfer’s international regulatory roadmap and reflects the company’s growing presence in the Middle East.
