Taptap Send Enables Direct Cross Border Donations for Overseas Pakistanis

Taptap Send, an app designed to facilitate cross-border money transfers through mobile devices, has just launched a new feature to aid overseas Pakistanis. Launched in 2018, the platform serves users in several countries who send funds to low- and middle-income nations, including Pakistan. The app now allows direct donations to location charities. In addition to personal remittances, Taptap Send now supports direct donations to charitable organizations in Pakistan. This feature allows users in the USA, UK, and Europe to contribute directly to registered non-profit organizations without using intermediaries. This feature is particularly relevant during religious periods such as Ramzan and Eid, when users may wish to give Zakat, Sadqah, or other forms of charity. The donations are processed within the same framework as regular remittances, maintaining the app’s emphasis on speed and reliability Taptap Send primarily operates as a mobile remittance service that enables users to send money quickly and at low cost. The app supports transfers from regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates to recipient countries in South Asia and Africa. The user experience is structured to minimize friction. After downloading the app, users complete identity verification, add a payment method, and then start a transfer by selecting the recipient’s country and entering the necessary details. Transfers are typically processed within minutes. For Pakistan specifically, the company reports that 95% of transactions were delivered in under one minute as of April 20, 2025. Unlike many traditional remittance services, Taptap Send does not charge fixed transfer fees, though foreign exchange rates apply. The platform’s mobile-first approach is designed to eliminate the need for physical agents or in-person transactions. Taptap Send operates under financial regulatory frameworks in each of its active jurisdictions. In the United States, it is licensed by the New York State Department of Financial Services. In the UAE, the platform is authorized by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, and in Australia, it holds a license from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. These regulatory structures require the company to adhere to compliance standards, including anti-money laundering procedures, know-your-customer requirements, and data protection protocols.
