Zero Fees for First-Time Users: How to Send Money Free with Botim

Expats across the UAE share one tradition: regular money transfers back home.

International transfers are a way of life here, thanks to the country's large expat population. What was once a slow, costly process full of fine print is now almost effortless, and fintech companies like Botim have delivered on the demand for affordable, quick, hassle-free transfers.

Known for its voice and video calls, Botim now supports international money transfers at affordable rates, with first-time users enjoying zero transfer fees. In this blog, we explore how you can send money abroad for free with Botim.

The Problem With Sending Money Abroad

Whether you are sending money home for an emergency, to help run a household, or as a routine transfer, you deserve the full worth of the money you send. In reality, international transfers can quietly eat into that amount through charges and unfavorable exchange rates.

Many traditional banks and exchange houses stack up a chain of costs: transaction fees, service charges, conversion markups, and intermediary deductions. Worse, not all of them disclose these costs upfront. They are often tucked into unfavorable conversion rates, the hidden markups most users never notice.

At first glance the difference can seem minor, just a few dirhams here and there. But once the money is converted into your home currency, the gap grows, and across months or years of regular transfers the losses add up. This is especially true for first-time users who are not sure where to start or what to watch out for.

It does not have to be this way. Whether out of habit, a lack of trust in digital brands, or simply not knowing better, many expats keep losing money to conversions and exchange houses, which can be avoided by switching to modern, transparent solutions built for today's global lifestyle.
