Nameer Khan شارك ذلكGood to have Steve D. Strategic Member of MFTA from Tahaluf sharing his perspective on Saudi Arabia with FINTECH.TV ahead of Money20/20 Middle East. One point from the conversation stayed with me. For international fintechs looking at Saudi Arabia, the questions are increasingly moving from “𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆?” 𝘁𝗼 “𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲?” That is an important shift. 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟴𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, Saudi Arabia has built significant momentum across regulation, infrastructure and adoption. The next phase is about connecting that momentum with companies, capital and partnerships that can execute on the ground. This is also why platforms like Money20/20 Middle East matter. Done well, they are not simply conferences. They shorten the distance between people who should be doing business together. Looking forward to seeing many familiar faces in Riyadh this September, and more importantly, seeing what comes out of those conversations afterwards.

These are the three questions Steve D., 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 at Tahaluf and MFTA Strategic Member, hears most often from international fintech leaders weighing Saudi Arabia. Speaking to FINTECH.TV's Wall Street to MENA ahead of Money20/20 Middle East, his read carries the weight of three years on the ground in Riyadh: the Kingdom now has credible answers to all three. The data backs him. Electronic payments accounted for 𝟴𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶 𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟳𝟵% 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, with national payment systems processing 14.6 billion electronic transactions, per the Saudi Central Bank – SAMA. Licensed fintech companies have more than doubled since 2022. That trajectory is Vision 2030 translated into working infrastructure, and it reflects sustained regulatory clarity from SAMA and Fintech Saudi | فنتك السعودية, the initiative behind this year's summit.

Nameer Khan شارك ذلكThe most consequential policy conversations rarely happen at the conference table. They happen before. After. In the margins of a market that is moving faster than the headlines suggest. Back across the region this season. The regulatory agenda in these markets is sharper, more deliberate, and more globally consequential than most outside them appreciate. Grateful for the access and the people around me. Focused on what it is for. 🌍 Every detail of how you move says something. Émigré MENA FINTECH ASSOCIATION | Fils #MENAFintech #Fintech #Regulation

Jordan's fintech opportunity is real, it is significant, and its regulatory leadership understands exactly where the Kingdom needs to go. That clarity of vision is what makes this partnership meaningful. The dialogue went deep. Open finance, digital assets, stablecoins, licensing frameworks across financial services sectors, regulatory consultation and policy development, ecosystem enablement, talent development and institutional capacity building, and attracting serious international investment and innovation into Jordan. The breadth of what was covered reflects the full depth of what MFTA brings to a market and the seriousness with which Jordan's leadership is approaching this moment. This is a long-term commitment, and we are only at the beginning. As Chairman of MFTA, I am proud of what we have built and what we are building together with the Central Bank of Jordan.

Nameer Khan شارك ذلكToday, I’ll be joining colleagues from Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University for a 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀, alongside Dr Jelena Janjusevic, SFHEA and Dr. Suliman Alshahmy. This is a subject particularly close to me. Having worked across fintech and sustainability, I increasingly believe the biggest opportunity ahead is not simply creating new sustainable financial products. It is developing the human capital capable of building, governing and scaling them. I’ve long believed industry and academia need to work much more closely together. The future of finance is being rewritten, and we have a responsibility to ensure the next generation is equipped to lead it. Looking forward to the conversation today.

Our conversation went well beyond fintech. We spoke about investment, financial centres, innovation, people, and importantly, the value of seeing beyond what exists today. One thought from our conversation stayed with me: true vision is not simply about seeing what others can see. It is about seeing what could exist beyond it. That thinking resonates strongly with both Luxembourg and the UAE. Two relatively small nations geographically that have built influence far beyond their size through openness, connectivity, long-term thinking and their ability to bring the world to their doorstep. There is history behind this relationship too.

Nameer Khan شارك ذلك𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 Dr Jelena Janjusevic, SFHEA 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗙𝗧𝗔 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽. There is an important principle behind this appointment. The future of finance cannot be shaped by industry alone. Academia brings evidence, independent thinking and long-term perspective to conversations increasingly shaped by AI, sustainability, policy and technology. At MFTA, we have consistently worked to bring academia closer to industry, regulators and policymakers and I believe more industry bodies should do the same. Welcome, Dr. Jelena, to the Sustainable Fintech Alliance. Looking forward to the perspective and contribution you will bring. #FutureOfFinance #SustainableFinance #Academia #MENAfintech

His assessment, grounded in three years working in Riyadh: ambition is finally meeting reality. Electronic payments accounted for 85% of Saudi Arabia's retail transactions in 2025, 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟳𝟵% 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰, with national payment systems processing 𝟭𝟰.𝟲 𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, according to the Saudi Central Bank – SAMA. The number of licensed fintech companies in the Kingdom has more than doubled since 2022. Durning identifies three questions international fintech leaders consistently bring to Saudi Arabia: • How do I get regulated • How do I find customers • How do I scale His view is that the Kingdom increasingly has credible answers to all three, supported by a large digitally sophisticated population, established financial institutions and regulators actively engaged in innovation. Companies that once served the market from abroad are now building teams on the ground. On what a platform like Money20/20 delivers that a standard conference cannot, his framing is precise. It compresses roughly six months of relationship-building into three days. A founder can meet a regulator, a bank and an investor within a single day. The metric that matters, he notes, is not attendance. It is what happens afterward. Looking to the next phase of regional fintech growth, Durning names three themes: AI moving from experimentation into deployed infrastructure, finance becoming increasingly embedded and invisible, and cross-border payment infrastructure gaining ground on Gulf trade and remittance volumes.

Nameer Khan تفاعل مع ذلكNameer Khan تفاعل مع ذلكWhat makes or breaks a digital banking launch? Our Managing Director for APAC, Omar Mansur, recently sat down with Raghda Ibraheem on FINTECH.TV to share some of the lessons he has learned from building 65+ digital banking propositions at Codebase Technologies. The difference, according to Omar, comes down to focus. When stakeholders are aligned and priorities are clear from day one, decisions happen faster, execution accelerates, and the path to launch becomes much clearer. Another highlight from the interview was how digital banking itself has evolved. Being digital today is the baseline. The real opportunity is in what banks build on top of that foundation to create new value for customers. From #EmbeddedFinance to #AgenticAI, the possibilities are expanding. Many thanks to MENA FINTECH ASSOCIATION and FINTECH.TV for their partnership in making this conversation possible and creating a space to share ideas and exchange perspectives.

Warp Drive VC
Mostafa ElKabbany, Chairman of Warp Drive VC, in his latest interview shared a clear and compelling vision on how technology can unlock value in overlooked sectors and turn everyday challenges into scalable business opportunities. During the interview, he explained how waste management — often viewed purely as an environmental issue — is actually an untapped economic opportunity when approached with the right incentives and infrastructure. Rather than relying on awareness alone, the focus is on behavioral change driven by direct financial value, making sustainability practical, rewarding, and scalable. He highlighted how ventures backed by Warp Drive VC, such as Big Scrappers, are formalizing informal markets through technology — bringing transparency, efficiency, and trust to fragmented ecosystems. By digitizing collection, pricing, and logistics, these platforms empower individuals, integrate informal players, and create measurable economic and environmental impact. A key takeaway from the discussion was that purpose and profitability are not opposites. When business models are built around real incentives, fast execution, and market realities, impact-driven startups can scale locally and internationally. This interview is a strong reminder that innovation doesn’t always mean creating something new — sometimes it means rethinking what already exists and unlocking its hidden value.
