From SIM to savings account.
Telecom operators hold what banks spend fortunes chasing: millions of customers, daily engagement and distribution everywhere. Our team has helped convert that reach into regulated financial services — wallets, cards, lending and full digital banking — across the Middle East and Africa.
We have launched this before — at scale.
Members of our team have been at the heart of the region's defining telco-fintech stories — taking a Gulf operator's wallet from launch to one of the region's leading digital payment platforms, and applying the East African mobile-money playbook that brought millions into the financial system. We know what regulators ask, where the unit economics break, and which mistakes are expensive.
- Wallet & cards launch — issuing, KYC/AML, agent and merchant networks
- Regulatory roadmap — from PSP license to digital banking ambitions
- Platform selection & integration — wallet cores, card processors, CBS
- Bank partnerships and scheme relationships, negotiated and integrated
- Scale operations — fraud, reconciliation and 24/7 AI-driven monitoring
