Egyptian Fintech 'Valu' to Launch Financial Service Platform in Jordan

Egypt’s fintech firm Valu has secured final regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Jordan to launch financial services in the Kingdom under a Specialized Finance license, following preliminary clearance in 2025.

The company plans to begin full‑scale operations in the first quarter of 2026, targeting flexible consumer financing solutions across sectors such as retail, electronics, healthcare and education.

To lead the new entity, Valu appointed former Jordanian Minister of Investment and Digital Economy Mothanna Gharaibeh as Chairman and fintech executive Mohammad Al Yousef as CEO.

The move is part of Valu’s efforts to advance financial inclusion and deepen its presence in the Levant following its 2025 listing on the Egyptian Exchange and ongoing product innovation.
