Al Ansari Exchange, a leading provider of remittance and foreign exchange services, said it plans to launch the region’s first roving branch that offers ‘Wage Protection Scheme’ (WPS) to labourers.

The ‘Al Ansari Exchange Mobile Branch’ is equipped with wireless technology to facilitate real time, 24/7 connection with the head office, said a company statement.

The concept of the mobile branch was conceived to address the needs of clients, especially those residing in labour accommodations in the UAE, for a secure facility that will allow them a more convenient way to receive their salaries, and to serve customers in remote locations where there are no Al Ansari branches within close proximity, it added.

The new branch aims to provide a host of salary disbursals to a large number of labourers in accordance with the highest security standards, without them having to leave the premises of their accommodation, said a top official.

“We are making significant investments towards ensuring that ‘Al Ansari Exchange Mobile Branch’ is fully functional and ready to operate with our valued customers who continue to give their trust to us,” explained Mohammad Al Ansari, managing director, Al Ansari Exchange.

'After we ensured that every aspect of this Mobile branch is operational, especially the high-technology equipment such as advanced Global Positioning System (GPS) and security cameras, we are planning now to produce additional mobile units to cater to more clients across the UAE.'

'We are excited as the launch of this new facility draws nearer, and we are confident that we will be able to exceed all expectations set for our innovative new offering,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service
