Founders & story · from Paymob’s own dossier

Founded 2015 as an e-commerce play, Paymob pivoted to fixing the underlying problem — Egypt's lack of online payment acceptance — and became the dominant payment gateway in MENA-P. The company has expanded from a card/wallet gateway into a full omnichannel infrastructure (online + POS + payouts + Paymob Sync cashless ecosystems), embedding installments from banks (QNB Egypt) and BNPL players (Tabby, Tamara) into checkout. Now positioning as 'the financial services enabler' for SMEs across Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Pakistan.
