fintech galaxy gains approval to pilot open banking in jordan

Fintech Galaxy has secured approval from the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) to join JoRegBox, the country’s regulatory sandbox for fintech innovation. The green light allows the company to test and implement Open Banking services within a controlled, real-world setting, and makes Fintech Galaxy the first Open Banking provider to gain regulatory backing in Jordan.

This move aligns with CBJ’s long term vision for financial innovation, introduced in August 2023 as part of the Economic Modernization Vision (2023–2025). The program’s purpose is to establish Jordan as a fintech hub, attracting investment in high-tech financial solutions. JoRegBox provides a supervised testing environment for fintech firms, in a bid to foster widespread financial inclusion and build more consumer-centric financial services.

Riyadh Al Zamil, Chairman of Fintech Galaxy’s Board of Directors, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are proud and honored to receive the Central Bank of Jordan’s approval to test and introduce Open Banking services to the country through the JoRegBox regulatory sandbox. This milestone underscores our commitment to fostering financial inclusion, enabling innovation, and empowering Jordan’s economy through Open Banking”.

Mirna Sleiman, Founder and CEO of Fintech Galaxy, echoed the sentiment: “The Central Bank of Jordan’s approval is a testament to our shared vision of fostering innovation and inclusivity in the financial sector. By leveraging FINX Connect, we aim to empower financial institutions and third-party providers with data aggregation and payment initiation services, ultimately improving the lives of consumers across Jordan”.

Open Banking services allow banks and payment providers to share customer data securely with third-party providers (with their prior consent). Fintech Galaxy’s FINX Connect platform enables real-time bank account data aggregation and payment initiation, enhancing customer access to personalized financial services and simplifying payment processing.

To support its expansion, Fintech Galaxy has raised $9 million for platform development and market growth. The Jordanian arm, led by Zaid Khatib, will integrate with banks and financial institutions country-wide, focusing on Personal Finance Management (PFM) and Business Finance Management (BFM) applications.

uae-based hupe unveils 3-stage health optimization program

Hupe, a UAE-based health optimization platform, has introduced its comprehensive 3-Stage Program — a strategic, personalized approach to wellness that combines cutting-edge diagnostics with expert guidance and state-of-the-art health technology.

This program is designed to move beyond conventional healthcare, which often uses a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, Hype offers its members a structured yet flexible system that enhances both physical and mental performance while proactively addressing potential health risks.

A New Era Of Personalized Health

Stage 1: Discovery

A Hupe user’s journey begins with in-depth diagnostic testing, covering over 100 blood biomarkers, food allergies, and intolerances. Members also consult an Integrative Medicine Doctor, who conducts a detailed health assessment. These insights form the foundation for a personalized Health Insights Program, setting the stage for the next phase.

Stage 2: Personalization

With a tailored Health Insights Program in place, members receive expert guidance from a dedicated team of specialists, including Integrative Medicine Doctors, Clinical Nutritionists, Mindset Coaches, and Sports Medicine Experts.

Depending on individual needs, advanced diagnostics — such as DNA analysis, gut microbiome profiling, hormonal assessments, mycotoxin screening, and DEXA scans — may be integrated. Continuous glucose monitoring and wearable health devices feed real-time data into the Hupe App (for iOS and Android), offering a dynamic roadmap to optimized wellbeing.

Stage 3: Optimization

The final phase is a 12-month membership designed to maintain and build on the progress made in Stage 2. The customized approach allows members to continually enhance their health, extend longevity, and perform at their peak, backed by expert support and a wealth of data.

“Hupe’s 3-Stage Program is designed for those who expect more than a generic health plan — they want precision, personalization, and measurable results,” says Sami Malia, Hupe’s founder. “I created Hupe out of my own frustrations. As a former C-suite executive battling Stage 3 cancer and chronic health issues, I struggled to find a healthcare provider that looked beyond symptoms to address the root cause. So, I spent two years researching the best diagnostic tests, laboratories, and medical experts worldwide to bring them together under one roof”.

Moving Beyond Traditional Healthcare

Unlike conventional medicine, which usually focuses on treating symptoms, Hupe’s proactive model identifies potential risks and optimizes health before problems arise. In addition, because every Hupe member receives a customized health strategy tailored to their unique biology, lifestyle, and goals, guesswork is eliminated, ensuring each plan aligns precisely with an individual’s physiology and genetics.
