MultiBank Group's crypto exchange arm, mb.io, integrates Botim to enable in-app account funding for UAE users

UAE users can now fund their mb.io accounts through Botim within the app

mb.io, the regulated digital asset platform of MultiBank Group, has partnered with Botim, the UAE's leading fintech platform, to streamline how mb.io app users in the UAE fund their accounts. mb.io provides access to digital asset trading through an app experience supported by MultiBank Group's institutional infrastructure and regulatory standards. Through this partnership, users can fund their mb.io accounts through a familiar payment flow within the app, reducing reliance on external payment steps.

For many digital asset platforms, account funding remains one of the most fragmented steps in the user's journey, often requiring users to leave the platform and complete payment steps elsewhere before returning to begin trading. By integrating Botim as a payment method, mb.io enables users to complete the process through a more streamlined and familiar funding experience.

"Getting your account funded should never be the hardest part of trading crypto," said Naser Taher, Founder and Chairman of MultiBank Group. "Botim is part of daily financial life for millions of people in the UAE. Integrating Botim as a payment method into mb.io means our users can go from zero to trading with fewer steps, less friction, and a payment experience they already know. That is exactly the kind of accessibility we are building toward."

Botim has evolved from a VoIP application into a fintech platform that delivers everyday financial services, including payments, remittance, cards, credit, and investment. Licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE under Stored Value Facility and Retail Payment Services and Card Schemes licenses, Botim enables regulated payment experiences for businesses and users across the UAE, with Botim serving as its in-app payments capability.

Kavi Choitram, SVP of Botim Business, said: "For digital asset platforms, the funding step is where user experience and trust are tested. By enabling Botim as a payment method within the mb.io app, this partnership provides UAE users with a familiar and regulated way to fund their accounts. For Botim, it reflects our approach as a user-first fintech platform, helping partners embed trusted payment capabilities directly into their digital experiences while making financial services simpler and more accessible."

This collaboration underscores mb.io and Botim's shared focus on improving digital finance journeys through practical integrations. By integrating Botim within mb.io, the partnership supports a more coherent in-app experience while reinforcing the role of regulated payment capabilities in enabling everyday digital financial activity.

Botim is available as a payment method to UAE users through the latest version of the mb.io app.
