Sending money to Lebanon can be costly and slow. With over 248,000 Australians of Lebanese ancestry, this community faces limited reliable options for sending money back home. That's why we've partnered with Purpl to offer instant, affordable transfers to Lebanon. 

Purpl shares our commitment to transparent and accessible financial services, making it easier for Lebanese Australians to support their loved ones.

Why Does This Partnership Matter?

Sending money internationally can be costly, with high fees and delays often associated with traditional transfer methods. We understand how important it is for you to support your loved ones back home, which is why we’ve teamed up with Bless Payments to providing instant and affordable money transfers to Lebanon.

Our partnership is vital due to the lack of reliable and cost-effective options for Lebanese diaspora in Australia, who often struggle to send money back home. With over 248,000 Australians of Lebanese ancestry—1% of the population—this community is both generous and highly engaged, sending 4% of all remittances from Australia back to Lebanon.

Bless Payments shares our commitment to affordable, instant, and transparent financial transactions. Together, we are aligned in our mission to make payments more accessible, offering a seamless solution for transferring money from Australia to Lebanon without the usual barriers.

”Our partnership with Bless Payments marks a new chapter in making international money transfers more accessible and affordable for the Lebanese diaspora in Australia. We’re proud to provide a service that ensures every dollar sent reaches loved ones without unnecessary delays or hidden fees.” – Wissam Ghorra, CEO & Co-founder at Purpl

“We’re excited about our partnership with Purpl as they share our mission to level the playing field for migrants, with instant and affordable transfers. With this partnership, we can provide Lebanese Australians peace of mind that the money that they send to their families in Lebanon will reach them instantly and securely.” – Affy Bhatti, CEO & Co-founder at Bless Payments
