Careem has introduced a new mobile wallet feature, Careem Pay, which allows users in Egypt, the UAE, and Pakistan to top up their mobile phone credit, the company told MENAbytes last week. The feature is available on all leading mobile networks in the three countries, with Android users already able to access it through an app. It will soon be available for iOS users as well, the company said. This is Careem’s first third-party payment feature, although last year it launched a service that allowed users to make transfers of Careem credit (the “currency” used in Careem Pay) between one another.
