Visa And Whish Money Partner To Expand Digital Payments In Lebanon
The first-of-its-kind partnership enables Whish Money to integrate Visa’s payment tech, advancing secure, scalable fintech solutions for over a million users.
Visa has entered a strategic partnership with Lebanon-based fintech Whish Money to enhance digital payment capabilities across Lebanon and international markets. The collaboration, announced at Whish Money’s newly opened campus in Beirut, positions the fintech company to integrate Visa’s advanced technologies into its platform — bringing improved speed, security, and global reach to its more than 1 million users.
The partnership marks a regional milestone: it is the first time Visa has partnered with an e-wallet provider in the Levant. Leila Serhan, Visa’s senior vice president and group country manager for North Africa, Levant, and Pakistan, described the alliance as one rooted in shared values of trust and innovation. She emphasized that Visa’s vast global network — spanning over 200 countries — will help accelerate Whish Money’s international expansion.
Whish Money, which has already established a global footprint, sees this agreement as a major step in its evolution. CEO and co-founder Toufic Koussa called the deal a “significant milestone,” citing the fintech’s strong compliance and security infrastructure as key enablers. He also noted Visa’s rigorous due diligence process as a sign of confidence in Whish Money’s operational maturity.

By embedding Visa’s digital payments infrastructure, the partnership will allow Whish Money to offer more seamless, efficient, and secure services — bolstering its standing in both domestic and global markets. The two companies plan to jointly raise the bar for fintech innovation, particularly in regions where reliable digital financial services remain underdeveloped.
As Lebanon’s fintech ecosystem gains momentum, collaborations like this signal a broader trend: global payments leaders are increasingly looking to regional innovators to co-create the next generation of digital financial solutions.

DJI Teases Dual-Camera Osmo Pocket 4P For 2026 Launch
Though most technical claims for the new gimbal come from industry leaks rather than DJI’s own announcement.
DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.
The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.
According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.
DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
