Al Ansari Exchange, a leading provider of worldwide remittance and foreign exchange services, has announced plans to launch 'Al Ansari Exchange Mobile Branch', the region's first roving branch that provides 'Wage Protection Scheme' (WPS) to labourers. 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. The Mobile Branch is equipped with state-of-the-art wireless technology to facilitate real time, 24/7 connection with the head office.
The 'Al Ansari Exchange Mobile Branch' is expected 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. This facility offers them a more economical option as they can now avail vital services without having to travel too far. Customers can directly take their salaries from the mobile branch as it is networked with the Central Bank. Further, the mobile facility is compliant with the 'Wages Protection Scheme' mandated by the Ministry of Labour, thereby ensuring absolute transparency and security.
"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," said 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."
Since its establishment in 1966, Al Ansari Exchange has carved a niche in the market by offering reliable, customer-oriented products and services, including worldwide money transfer, foreign exchange, transfers through Western Union & Cash Express, and door-to-door delivery of remittance. The company also provides ancillary services, such as cash advance and encashment against credit cards, credit card bill payment, and issuance of National Bonds certificates, travellers' cheques, and eExchange, among others.
