TerraPay And OMT Launch Cross-Border Payments For Lebanon
Lebanese enterprises gain new access to international markets through the partnership, which offers secure, compliant, and real-time transfers.
TerraPay, a global money movement company, has partnered with Lebanon’s OMT to introduce a new cross-border payment solution designed for businesses. The service aims to strengthen the position of Lebanese enterprises in the international economy by offering secure, real-time transactions aligned with global compliance standards.
Founded in 2014, TerraPay today connects payments to more than 150 receiving countries and over 210 sending countries, spanning billions of wallets, bank accounts, and cards. OMT, established in 1998, operates Lebanon’s largest retail channel with a network of over 1,400 agents providing more than 200 services nationwide.
The collaboration combines OMT’s extensive domestic network with TerraPay’s international payment infrastructure, giving Lebanese companies a streamlined way to integrate into global trade. Through a secure online portal, users can initiate transfers, track payments, and access financial reports, ensuring both visibility and speed in business operations.
“Partnering with OMT allows us to extend our vision to Lebanon’s business community, giving enterprises the tools they need to transact internationally with confidence, speed, and compliance,” said Bassem Awada, Senior Vice President at TerraPay, adding: “We’re excited to empower growth and unlock new opportunities through this collaboration”.

Whether sourcing raw materials or settling invoices with international partners, they now have access to a solution that is seamless, compliant, cost-effective, and fully interoperable”.
Lebanon is heavily reliant on global trade flows, and this partnership seeks to ease the challenges businesses face when dealing with international payments. By lowering costs, enhancing transparency, and ensuring compliance, TerraPay and OMT aim to create a more inclusive financial system that supports enterprises of all sizes.

New Disney+ Streaming App Has Officially Launched In The UAE
The app’s recommendations now factor in what’s popular in the UAE, and a dedicated Junior Mode gives kids their own corner of Disney+.
A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.
The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.
For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.
The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.
Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.
For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
