As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting financial innovation and strengthening the FinTech ecosystem, Jordan Kuwait Bank has announced its upgrade to Platinum Sponsorship of JOIN Fincubator, the inventive FinTech incubator launched by the Jordan Payments and Clearing Company (JoPACC).

The sponsorship was officially announced during JOIN’s Second Cohort Demo Day, which was attended by the patronage of H.E. Dr. Adel Al-Sharkas, Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan and Board Chairman of JoPACC. During his speech, Dr. Al-Sharkas emphasized on CBJ’s commitment to fostering financial innovation in Jordan to drive the digital financial inclusion across the country.

JOIN Fincubator has established itself as a leading hub for empowering FinTech startups, driving digital transformation, and advancing financial inclusion in Jordan. Through this strategic partnership, JKB intends to further its position as a key Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) partner, supporting FinTechs and startups by offering tailored financial solutions that meet their needs.

Ms. Maha Al Bahou, CEO of JoPACC, expressed her enthusiasm for JKB’s continued support in its third year, stating: "JKB’s transition to Platinum Sponsorship reflects its strong commitment to FinTech collaboration and innovation. This partnership will further enhance the development of Jordan’s financial technology sector, allowing startups to access cutting-edge financial services and thrive in an evolving digital landscape to better serve their customers."

Mr. Haethum S. Buttikhi, CEO of Jordan Kuwait Bank, reaffirmed the bank’s strategic direction, saying: "At JKB, we recognize the transformative power of FinTech and digital banking. Through JOIN Fincubator, we are supporting startups and also reinforcing JKB’s role as the go-to banking partner for FinTechs. This sponsorship aligns with our broader vision to drive financial innovation through strategic collaborations."

Over the past two years as a Gold Sponsor, JKB has played a notable role in FinTech development in Jordan, with key contributions; and as a Platinum Sponsor, JKB will have an even greater role in shaping the future of financial services in Jordan.

With this partnership, Jordan Kuwait Bank is further solidifying its position as a market leader in open banking and FinTech collaboration, advancing its mission to provide innovative, customer-centric, and future-ready financial solutions.
