Challenge
Inspiration
Eidiyas (cash-gifts) are an integral part of holiday celebrations, and families were about to miss this tradition due to lockdown.
Idea
While everything was changing because of the pandemic, the Eidiya tradition didn’t have to with stc pay.
We Repackaged the existing peer-to-peer transfer feature into a “Send Eidiya” one.
Growth
Exceeded our objective by 400% and reached 500,000 transfers during the 3 days of Eid.
