The online retailer, which is headquartered in Singapore, has said it has around 108 million monthly active users in the 27-nation EU
The increase is reflected in outward remittances to South Asia, the Levant and other parts of the MENA region.
"Ramadan is the month of giving, and we traditionally witness that remittances back home to friends and loved ones increase during the month. This year, we have registered a 12 per cent increase in remittances in the first two weeks of the holy month, and this figure may change once we tabulate data for the entire month after Eid Al Fitr. The increased remittances are a sign of generosity, and also help families back home prepare for Eid festivities," said Xpress Money COO Sudhesh Giriyan.
The increased remittances are part of a broader shift in spending, consumption and behavioural habits during the holy month.
Last year, a comprehensive GCC-wide survey by Xpress Money showed that 44 per cent of UAE expatriates transferred more money to their loved ones during the month, while 69% spent more on charitable acts. Forty-three per cent of respondents also said that they spend more time socialising with friends and family during Ramadan.
