“Can a MENA-native card issuing platform become the embedded finance infrastructure layer for banks, fintechs, and enterprises across the Arab world and Pakistan?”
Founded in 2018 by Omar Onsi as a card issuing and processing platform for MENA banks and fintechs. Over time NymCard has expanded the nCore platform from card issuing into a full embedded finance suite — adding money movement (Visa Direct), embedded lending/BNPL, open finance, KYC, and SME spend tools. Now operates as the only multi-country embedded finance platform across 10+ MENA markets and Pakistan, licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE.
