As part of its ongoing investment in innovative digital solutions that enhance customer experience and meet daily banking needs, Warba Bank has introduced two new features under its WAMD instant transfer service: WAMD Group Send and WAMD Group Request. These services allow customers to send or request funds from multiple people in a single transaction directly through the bank’s mobile application, streamlining group payments and saving time and effort.
Commenting on the new digital services, Mejren Hamad Al Mejren, Director of Digital Department at Warba Bank, stated: "At Warba Bank, we don’t just offer financial services, we redefine the banking experience through digital and smart technologies that align with our customers’ modern lifestyles and empower them with secure, easy and flexible tools to manage their finances. We believe that continuous innovation is key to delivering banking services that evolve with today’s fast-paced world."
Through its WAMD instant transfer platform, Warba Bank has developed two new features tailored for group payments, WAMD Group Send and WAMD Group Request, making it easier for customers to send or request money from multiple contacts in one seamless transaction via the Warba Bank mobile app.
Al Mejren added: "We designed WAMD Group Send and Group Request to reflect the evolving needs of our customers and to deliver a smarter and more intuitive banking experience. Today’s lifestyle calls for digital-first, on-the-go financial solutions; and this is exactly what we’re providing by continuously upgrading our digital services to make everyday banking easier and more effective for everyone."
The services offer a simple user interface, allowing customers to select up to ten recipients from their contact list or add them manually. The Group Request feature includes an option to split the total amount evenly among the recipients, with the flexibility to exclude the sender from the calculation. These features serve real-life needs such as splitting dinner bills among friends or sending Eid gifts to family members in one go, positioning WAMD as an efficient tool for fast, smooth group payments.
This latest launch aligns with Warba Bank’s comprehensive digital transformation strategy, aimed at continuously enhancing its services and adapting to evolving technologies and customer expectations.
