Turki joins Fintech Galaxy Bahrain as Country Manager to turbocharge Fintech Galaxy’s efforts to push financial inclusion forward.

Turki has previously led the partnerships by developing strong collaborations with the banks and non-bank members, sustaining innovation and promoting a cashless society, having helped to streamline government processes, in his previous roles.

The FinTech company has also appointed Sara Al Zeera as Compliance and Anti-Money Laundering, primarily to support the introduction of Open Banking in the Kingdom.

This appointment comes just months after the company announced its successful licensing as an Account Information Service Provider (AISP) with the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), becoming the first central bank-regulated Open Finance platform in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Mirna Sleiman, CEO and founder of Fintech Galaxy, commented, “Fintech Galaxy, under the supervision of the Central Bank of Bahrain, is set to increase financial inclusion from the region to the rest of the world. We are ready to open new opportunities in financial services, expand the range of potential customers for businesses, improve the efficiency of sector and pave the way for a new financial future.”

Turki AlAhmed, Country Manager in Bahrain at Fintech Galaxy said: “I am delighted to join Fintech Galaxy, share my experience and support the company’s mission to bring Open Banking and Open Finance to Bahrain via the FINX platform. We will leverage the Kingdom’s mature ecosystem and agile regulatory framework to design new use cases which will add value to all parties and change the way we deliver financial services.”

Present in the UAE, KSA, Bahrain, Egypt, Lebanon and Moldova, Fintech Galaxy continues to expand its offering for banks, financial institutions, merchants and FinTechs as it pursues its ambition to develop its platform FINX to deliver Open Banking and Open Finance infrastructure.
