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. Aamir shared how technologies like QR codes and NFC are doing more than speeding up transactions—they’re building trust, unlocking valuable data, and creating new economic opportunities for small businesses and consumers alike. As part of VEON’s broader digital financial strategy, we continue to scale these innovations, helping to make financial systems more inclusive, transparent, and sustainable across frontier markets.
