How to send a wedding gift with PayMeDaba
A contribution to the wedding, or a cash gift for the couple, is traditionally handed over in person, sometimes in an envelope. But sometimes you cannot make the trip: a wedding in Oujda when you work in Agadir, a date that clashes with an exam, a last-minute problem.
With PayMeDaba you send your gift straight to the bride or groom, or to a relative handling things, using their @username, mobile number or QR code. Add a congratulations note (up to 140 characters), confirm with your PIN, and the money arrives instantly.
The amount stays strictly personal: only the recipient sees what you sent. There is no shared list and no tally visible to other guests.
Send your gift in 4 steps
- Ask who to send it to. The groom, the bride, or the family member organising. Get their @username or number.
- Tap "Send" and pick the recipient. Check the first name, last initial and @username shown.
- Enter the amount and your message. "Mabrouk! Wishing you every happiness": a few words keep the gesture warm.
- Confirm with your PIN. The fee shows before you confirm. The recipient gets a notification with your message.
Example: a gift sent from afar
Leïla lives in Agadir. Her cousin Hajar is getting married in Fès on a Thursday, and Leïla cannot leave work. She decides to give 500 MAD and sends it on the morning of the wedding.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gift sent by Leïla | 500 MAD |
| Fee paid by Leïla (0.1%) | 0.50 MAD |
| Total debited from Leïla | 500.50 MAD |
| Amount Hajar receives | 500 MAD |
Hajar receives the full amount with no fee, along with her cousin's message. The 500 MAD is just an example: everyone gives according to their means and their bond with the couple, and no amount is "expected". For 200 MAD the fee would be 0.20 MAD; for 1,000 MAD, 1.00 MAD. See pricing.
Tips for a graceful gesture
- Ask before sending. Some families prefer gifts in person: a quick message to ask how the couple would like to receive is always appreciated.
- Take care with the message. It replaces the card in the envelope. Sincere wishes count as much as the amount.
- Send at the right time. On the day or just before, so the gesture goes with the celebration.
- Do not compare. PayMeDaba never shows anyone else what you gave. Give what feels right.
- Check the recipient. A sent transfer cannot be undone: read the name shown before confirming.
Why PayMeDaba for weddings
- Discreet: only you and the recipient see the amount.
- From afar: be there in spirit even when you cannot travel.
- Personal: every transfer can carry a congratulations note.
- Handy for the couple: they can withdraw what they receive to their bank account free of charge after verifying their ID.
Couples expecting several gifts should verify their national ID card in the app: without verification, the balance is capped at 2,000 MAD under the planned limits, which may change. Read more about security. PayMeDaba will be available once Bank Al-Maghrib grants its approval: join the waitlist.
