November 11, 2025, Singapore – Tranglo, a leading cross-border payment hub, has officially launched its services in Kuwait.
With this addition, Tranglo now connects to all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain. This entry further strengthens its footprint in the Gulf and the wider Middle East region, offering seamless access to one of the world’s most dynamic remittance corridors.
Kuwait is a major remittance source country. Non-Kuwaitis account for 68% of its population and nearly 80% of its labour force, driving substantial outbound remittances. In 2024, Kuwait sent USD 12.7 billion in remittances, representing approximately 10.87% of its GDP. This highlights the strong economic interdependence between host and recipient countries, as most migrant workers come from low- and middle-income nations such as India, Egypt, and the Philippines.
At launch, Tranglo enables cash pick-up in Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD). Pick-ups can be made at over 100 locations across Kuwait, ensuring faster, more secure, and reliable payouts for individuals across its extensive network.
Tranglo Group CEO Jacky Lee said: “By enabling cross-border payments to Kuwait, Tranglo empowers our partners and businesses to tap into this dynamic, high-value corridor. This addition significantly enhances Tranglo’s regional footprint and positions it as a comprehensive solution for Middle East payouts.”
In tandem with the Kuwait launch, Tranglo has also expanded its Egypt services. Users can now send USD via bank transfer and cash pick-up, further broadening accessibility and convenience.
Tranglo helps financial institutions and businesses make cross-border payments through its proprietary solutions. Tranglo seamlessly integrates payout and partner services, unifying the end-to-end process with direct API and portal access. Companies can reliably and securely make payments to nearly 120 countries.
