In a significant move aimed at revolutionizing the digital payment landscape in the UAE, Botim, a subsidiary of Astra Tech, has forged a strategic partnership with Al Etihad Payments (AEP), a subsidiary of the UAE Central Bank. This collaboration has led to the introduction of Aani, an advanced instant payment platform set to redefine the way digital transactions are conducted in the region.



Operated by Al Etihad Payments, Aani represents a cutting-edge solution that facilitates round-the-clock instant processing of secure and convenient digital payments. With the ability to perform instant transfers using recipient details such as phone numbers, email addresses, or QR codes, Aani eliminates the complexities associated with traditional IBAN formats, offering a seamless and streamlined payment experience for users.

The integration of Aani's solution into the Botim application, supported by PayBy, marks a significant milestone in the realm of financial technology. Botim becomes the first platform to provide access to AEP's Aani solutions, thereby empowering users with instant and secure person-to-person payment services.



This innovative service not only caters to the evolving needs of UAE residents but also sets a new industry standard by ensuring full interoperability across all payment services. By enabling round-the-clock instant digital payments, Aani aims to provide unparalleled convenience and efficiency to users, further bolstering the UAE's position as a leader in digital innovation.

The launch of Aani comes at a time when the UAE is witnessing rapid digital transformation across various sectors. As digital payments continue to gain momentum, initiatives like Aani are poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of financial transactions in the region.

In related news, the recent agreement between Tencent and Astra Tech allows Botim users to seamlessly remit cross-border payments to WeChat users, further expanding the accessibility and utility of Botim's services to a global audience. With such partnerships driving innovation and collaboration, the UAE's digital payment ecosystem is set to thrive in the years to come.
