The story

GCC Exchange is a UAE-licensed money exchange and remittance company operating across multiple jurisdictions including UAE, Fiji, Seychelles, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom. The company has evolved from a traditional brick-and-mortar exchange into a digital remittance platform with a mobile app, enabling transfers to over 100 countries. A notable embedded finance step was the partnership with Paykii to extend the product into global bill payment services, diversifying beyond pure FX remittance.
