At Money20/20 Middle East, Aamir Aftab, Chief Product Officer at JazzCash joined Abdulaziz A Aljasser, Ahmed Al-Ben Saleh and Jan Malas on the “Next-Gen Money” fireside chat to discuss how digital financial services are driving inclusive growth across emerging markets. The conversation explored how contactless payments are reshaping the retail landscape in Pakistan. With over 600,000 merchants and powering one-third of all e-commerce transactions, JazzCash is leading the charge in digitizing the country’s merchant ecosystem.

Our founder Umesh Chhazzed was quoted in The Economic Times on a major global shift in banking strategy. As US visa restrictions tighten, foreign banks are set to rely even more on their Indian capability centers. It’s a clear signal of how GCCs have moved from “support” to “strategic.” For us, it’s also validation: the GCC model is not just future-ready, it’s future-proof.
