du Pay Expands Partnership with talabat to Become Official Digital Wallet for Fleet Partners in UAE
du Pay, the advanced digital financial services arm of du, announced the expansion of its partnership with talabat, the leading everyday delivery app in the MENA region. Under this agreement, du Pay becomes the official digital wallet and payment platform for talabat’s fleet partners in the United Arab Emirates.
This step comes following strong adoption of du Pay within talabat's delivery driver network, representing the next phase of collaboration aimed at providing a unified digital hub for drivers to seamlessly access, manage, and utilize their funds.
Signing Ceremony and Strategic Collaboration
The partnership agreement was signed at talabat's headquarters in the presence of Roberto Mancone, CEO of du Pay, and Simonida Subotic, Vice President and General Manager of talabat UAE.
The agreement introduces a "unified wallet" solution for talabat’s fleet partners, eliminating the need to manage payments across multiple providers. This ensures a streamlined, organized financial experience for delivery drivers while broadening their access to digital financial services.
Comprehensive Financial Benefits for Delivery Drivers
The du Pay digital wallet offers instant access to a wide range of financial services via a single platform. Each account features:
An individual International Bank Account Number (IBAN).
A free digital debit card offering cashback on spending.
Access to cash loans.
These features empower delivery drivers to transfer money internationally to their families, pay bills, top up mobile credit—including receiving a 50% bonus on du prepaid recharges—and use their du Pay debit card for daily expenses.
