Fintech Disrupting MENA

Fintech companies are poised for growth across the Middle East, fueled by rising interest from investors who continue to pour significant funding into promising platforms to help the industry grow.

Governments, banks and financial institutions are also leading initiatives to use state-of-the-art fintech solutions. The Middle East is home to numerous fintech accelerators, including the U.A.E.’s Fintech Hive at DIFC and the Fintech Factory by Payfort in Egypt. Accelerators have also been launched by banks and investors in Bahrain, Jordan and Lebanon.

These three fintechs outgrew startup status a while ago, but are still making an impact across the region.
