The fourth day of #CIB_Summer_internship and the fourth competition: what is your favorite Fintech worldwide? How is their service impacting society and the economy positively? I think I'd prefer Tarabut because, even though it was founded soon (2019), it has made great achievements and took a lot of awards. Tarabut is the leading open banking platform in the MENA region, operating in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the UAE. They are reshaping the financial landscape through innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to accessibility and convenience. Tarabut unites forces and establishes the foundation for an interconnected, personalized , and accessible financial ecosystem. As pioneers in open banking, They seamlessly integrate financial services into the daily lives of people in the region - offering immediate, personalized, and effortlessly integrated solutions. Licensed by CBB and the DFSA as an AISP/PISP. Tarabut is also permitted by the SAMA to test its services under the Regulatory Sandbox environment. Last year's partnerships include teaming up with the Saudi microlending firm Tamam and Bahrain's Rain crypto assets trading platform. Tarabut successfully raised $32 million in a Series A funding round in May. So grateful to be part of the CIB Egypt.
