A report by the MENA Fintech Association found that the region has historically been inclined to cling to cash payments, and the banking sector has been slower to adapt. Despite this, the report also concluded that 7 out of 10 payment transactions in the Middle East will be non-cash in 2023, with the UAE more specifically likely to account for 73 percent of payments in 2023.
Bold and innovative fintech companies like Mamo are part of the driving force behind this change.
