Jordan Daily - Jordan is strengthening its position in financial technology as digital transactions rise and institutional collaboration deepens, a senior regional executive said at a major industry gathering in Amman.
Speaking at the Fintech Summit Middle East 2026, Amjad Al-Sadeq, Regional President for the Levant at Network International, highlighted growing momentum in the country’s digital transformation.
The event, held in Amman on Wednesday, brought together fintech experts, policymakers and representatives from key institutions including the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, the Central Bank of Jordan and the Association of Banks in Jordan.
Al-Sadeq told Jordan Daily, the presence of both public and private sector stakeholders reflects the importance of aligning efforts to address regional and global challenges while unlocking new opportunities in financial technology.
“Jordan today is clearly on the map in a strong and effective way,” he said, pointing to recent economic indicators and digital adoption rates.
He noted that figures presented during the summit showed significant growth in electronic transactions, particularly through national payment systems such as the eFAWATEERcom platform. The volume and value of digital transactions, he said, demonstrate increasing reliance on electronic channels across the economy.
Al-Sadeq added that these developments signal a broader shift toward digital financial infrastructure, positioning Jordan to accelerate its transition into a more advanced, electronically enabled economy.
The summit also focused on identifying barriers to further growth, including regulatory, technological and regional constraints, while emphasizing the need for continued cooperation between regulators and industry players, Al-Sadeq noted.
