Abu Dhabi-based FinTech PayBy is partnering with uPay to expand its reach to more than 850 uPay self-serve kiosks across the UAE as it looks to improve financial inclusion.



With PayBy integrated into uPay systems, users can top up their digital wallets on the kiosk machines and use PayBy for e-commerce transactions, cashless payments and peer-to-peer transfers, the company said on Thursday.





The two companies said they are finalising ways for customers to use their PayBy wallets for services such as recharging Salik, payments on the App Store, and topping up mobile cards.­­ PayBy is also in talks to expand its offerings to include government smart services.



FinTech platforms are increasingly developing solutions for the underbanked segment in the UAE - a sector that has largely remained untapped by the conventional lenders.
