“I have followed Mazen's work in the digital sphere long before having the chance to work with him. He is a strategic subject matter expert and an analytical mastermind—someone I observed and learned a lot from. Working with Mazen, I saw him bring in both the user's perspective and the stakeholders'. He was able to provide invaluable insight and expertise to my work, from a technical and marketing points of view, and that makes him a mentor. I think this combination of having the best of both the digital and the marketing worlds is his greatest forte. On a personal level, his innate positivity is contagious and will affect every single person working with him. He is frank and has a wonderful sense of humor. Rock star material.”

The GCC region isn’t just going cashless, it’s rewriting the future of money. At Visa GCC Connect 2025, Dr Saeeda Jaffar, SVP & Group Country Manager, GCC at Visa, outlined a bold vision for payments in 2030: • Agentive AI: digital “buddies” that transact on your behalf. • Stablecoins & digital assets: moving into the financial mainstream. • Real-time, borderless payments: making commerce instant and seamless. Yet as innovation accelerates, trust remains non-negotiable. With $12 billion invested in fraud prevention, Visa is ensuring that progress never comes at the cost of security. The GCC isn’t following global trends, it’s setting the pace for the world. Speaking at Visa GCC Connect 2025, Milan, Italy.

Our team is back from Money20/20 Middle East, where they connected with fintech leaders, innovators, and policymakers shaping the future of finance across the region. A few themes consistently came up in their conversations: 🤝 Cross-border and interoperability – With the Middle East’s diverse markets and high levels of international trade, the ability to move money seamlessly across borders isn’t just a convenience, it’s a growth enabler. Regulators and innovators alike are asking how infrastructure can catch up with demand. 🤖 AI – Far beyond chatbots, AI is being explored for smarter compliance, fraud detection, and hyper-personalised financial experiences. The challenge now is balancing innovation with trust, governance, and transparency. 🏦 Digital assets & tokenisation – From real-world assets to central bank digital currencies, tokenisation is gaining traction as a way to increase liquidity, efficiency, and financial inclusion. Leaders are keen to understand where the real business cases will emerge first. 📈 Open banking – With adoption accelerating in the region, open banking is moving from regulatory mandate to commercial opportunity. The discussion is shifting to “what’s next” – how ecosystems will monetise data, create new partnerships, and unlock value for customers. The team left Riyadh energised and more convinced than ever that the Middle East is set to become a truly dynamic fintech hub. What were your biggest takeaways?

MoneyHash, a leading payment orchestration platform, has partnered with Noon Payments to provide businesses with easier access to localized payment methods across the GCC. Through this collaboration, businesses integrated with MoneyHash can instantly activate key regional payment options, including Mada, KNET, Benefit, Meeza, and Omannet, via a single API connection. This partnership addresses one of the biggest challenges in the MEA region: the complexity of fragmented payment infrastructures. By combining noon payments’ regional coverage with MoneyHash’s orchestration technology, these two fintech innovators will provide a solution that streamlines operations, accelerates market entry, and improves the checkout experience. The partnership will enable merchants in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman to offer their customers preferred local payment methods, boosting conversion rates and building trust, without incurring the costs and effort of managing multiple integrations or compliance protocols.
