The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have a competitive edge in Financial Technology (Fintech), with a substantial proportion of the population able to access digital Fintech services. The non-cash payments in the UAE alone are expected to account for 73 per cent of the total transaction volume by the end of 2023, according to a recent report.

To support the digital transformation journey of the region and capture the rising demand for Fintech solutions, London-based technology provider Monty Finance, the Fintech arm of Monty Holding, has announced ambitious expansion and growth plans at the recently concluded Seamless Middle East exhibition at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
