From Dubai to Delhi in 60 seconds

In 2014, Emirates NBD introduced DirectRemit, a product that enables people to transfer money to India in 60 seconds for free, through the bank’s digital channels.

And we communicated it in a way that most Indians could relate to picking an untapped Indian cultural phenomenon: Soap Operas – that drag on!

We showed Indian audiences how money transfers with DirectRemit do not have to drag on as long as soap opera scenes do.

Number of money transfers/month: +318%
