Our Story

Financial Freedom Has No Borders

We started Shaheen Money because we saw a broken system. Migrant workers sending money home were losing too much to fees, delays, and opaque exchange rates. We knew technology could fix it.

Our Mission

Making Money Move Like Information

Every year, $700 billion flows across borders as remittances. For millions of families, this money is rent, school fees, medicine, and food. Yet the average cost of sending $200 internationally is still nearly 7% — a tax on the most vulnerable people in the global economy.

Shaheen Money was founded in Dubai in 2022 with a simple thesis: blockchain technology and modern payment rails can reduce that cost to near-zero while making transfers instant. We combine stablecoin infrastructure with local payment networks to move money at the speed of the internet.
