Media Release

Dubai, November 10:  UAE Exchange, the leading global remittance and exchange house based in the UAE, in collaboration with MasterCard Worldwide, a global payment solutions company, today launched the MasterCard Smart Pay Payroll Card at an event held at the Jumeira Beach Hotel, Dubai.
