EzRemit Waives Fee for Money Transfers to Nepal at BFC

A gesture of goodwill to the Nepalese Community in Bahrain

Bahrain Financing Company (BFC), the Kingdom’s leading money transfer and foreign exchange specialists, has announced today that all money transfer services through EzRemit to Nepal will be free of charge with immediate effect until the 31st May 2015.

In the wake of the recent devastating earthquake in Nepal, all transaction fees for EzRemit money transfer services to Nepal at BFC will be waived as a gesture of goodwill to help the Nepalese community in Bahrain send money home to their loved ones and to those that wish to make a donation to the country. Customers can send money in minutes through EzCash for their family or loved ones to collect in Nepal from any of EzRemit’s 10,000 plus cash pick-up locations or via EzCredit – a direct payment into their beneficiary’s bank account.

In addition, customers wishing to make a donation to the Nepalese Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund can do so through EzCredit at any of BFC’s 41 branches across Bahrain. Commenting on the gesture Mr. Ebrahim Nonoo, BFC Group Managing Director and CEO said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with Nepal, its people and those affected by this terrible natural disaster. Many of our valued customers are from Nepal and we are proud to help them through this difficult time.’
