Careem, a ride-sharing company and the first unicorn in the Middle East, and JS Bank, one of Pakistan’s fastest-growing banks, inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) gearing up a partnership to provide simple and convenient mobility solutions to its employees, thereby expanding its corporate portfolio ‘Careem for Business’ (C4B).
