Share this news:

-- Whish Money, a leading digital finance platform with offices in Lebanon, USA, and UAE, is driving a nationwide shift from cash to secure, compliant digital payments. Serving more than 1.3 million users and facilitating over $10 billion in annual gross payment volume (GPV) across 110+ countries, the company is transforming financial access in a country long challenged by currency collapse and economic instability.

Originally launched as i-Tel, a telecom value-added services provider, Whish Money has evolved into a licensed digital wallet and financial services platform. Today, it offers a centralized ecosystem where users can send and receive money, pay bills, collect merchant payments, and access salary disbursements. Its infrastructure integrates robust KYC and AML protocols, ensuring every transaction is secure, traceable, and connected to international financial networks.

“Our mission, as a technology company, is to tackle the complex challenges of financial inclusion and help drive digital transformation,” said Toufic Koussa, CEO and Co-Founder of Whish Money. “We have successfully shifted people from a cash-based economy to a digital one by building an entire ecosystem designed to meet their everyday needs in a simple, safe, and transparent way.”

Through more than 1,300 service points in Lebanon and 3,000+ points of sale in the UAE, Whish Money provides individuals and businesses with convenient alternatives to cash. The company partners with leading global brands including Visa, Mastercard, Terrapay, Shift, and Ria, enhancing its cross-border and domestic service offerings.

“Partnering with global industry leaders helps us deliver innovative solutions while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards,” added Koussa. “By embedding financial tools into e-commerce and peer-to-peer platforms, we make Whish Money more accessible and efficient for people and businesses alike.”

Licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Lebanon, Whish Money adheres to international compliance standards, including AML and CTF protocols, supported by advanced automated systems and experienced professionals.

Looking ahead, Whish Money is expanding beyond Lebanon into North America, Europe, and the GCC, continuing its mission to provide innovative, compliant, and secure digital financial solutions to modern users worldwide.
