valU Central Bank Approval has been granted by the Central Bank of Jordan, letting the fintech platform start doing business in the country. This approval is a big step forward for valU’s plan to grow in the MENA region and fits with the company’s goal of providing flexible financial solutions throughout the area.
As part of its broader growth strategy, Valu recognizes Jordan as a promising frontier and an emerging hub of economic vitality and digital transformation. The company’s comprehensive market assessment underscores the country’s promising growth prospects, fueled by a rising consumer appetite for innovative payment options that enhance purchasing power and financial convenience.
Valu’s advanced BNPL platform is designed to revolutionize how Jordanians shop and pay. By offering flexible installment plans for everyday purchases, whether for retail, electronics, healthcare, or other sectors, Valu enables consumers to acquire goods and services without immediate financial strain.

With regulatory clearance in hand, valU wants to bring its buy-now-pay-later services to Jordan and make it easier for people to get digital financial services.
The Jordanian launch is underpinned by meticulous groundwork, including the recruitment of highly experienced professionals with deep expertise in Jordan’s financial landscape and proven success in fintech innovation. Over recent months, Valu has cultivated strategic partnerships with leading merchants and financial institutions across Jordan, which stands as early evidence of the strong regional demand for its trusted BNPL offerings. These alliances will serve as the foundation for an expanding network committed to delivering smooth, convenient financial experiences to Jordanian consumers and merchants alike.
Adding to Valu’s momentum is its recent listing on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX), elevating its corporate stature and regional visibility. This milestone not only enhances Valu’s credibility but also opens new pathways for strategic collaborations and regional growth.
Habiba Naguib, Chief Market Expansion and Strategy Officer of Valu, expressed her excitement, stating: “Expanding into Jordan with our BNPL services represents a major leap forward, unlocking new opportunities for consumers and merchants alike. Our platform is designed to empower individuals by offering flexible, responsible credit options that improve their purchasing power and lifestyle. The recent listing on the EGX and Amazon’s strategic investment reinforce our confidence in our growth trajectory and our commitment to transforming digital finance across the region.”
Naguib added: “At our core, we remain dedicated to innovation and financial inclusion. Our financial solutions are tailored to meet the evolving needs of Jordanian consumers and merchants, helping them to transact smarter, grow faster, and live better.”
This expansion into Jordan, reinforced by Valu’s recent milestones and strategic collaboration with Amazon, positions the company as a regional fintech leader committed to fostering economic vitality, promoting financial inclusion, and empowering communities through responsible, flexible credit solutions.
The valU Central Bank Approval shows that people in the region are becoming more confident in digital finance innovation, which will help it spread to other parts of the Middle East.
