The session formed part of MENA Fintech Association’s wider regulatory dialogue series, which brings regulators, financial institutions, fintech companies, investors, and ecosystem stakeholders into direct conversation. MFTA framed the session as the start of a deeper relationship with the Central Bank of Jordan and emphasized that such regulatory updates are valuable because they allow the market to hear directly from the institution shaping policy.
MFTA also positioned Jordan as more than an emerging fintech market. In the opening remarks, Jordan was described as a mature, credible, and increasingly strategic fintech destination. This framing was important because the session was not only about listing recent updates. It was about showing how Jordan’s regulatory and financial infrastructure has developed over time, and how that development is now creating a stronger base for supporting fintech activity. The Central Bank of Jordan’s presentation focused on the country’s fintech transformation, with particular attention to digital payments, open finance, virtual assets, payment infrastructure, regulatory sandbox activity, and future areas of innovation.
The session also included a moderated Q&A, where market participants raised questions on tokenization, stablecoins, open finance timelines, BNPL, non resident access, RTGS usage, and cross border instant payments.
