Group Finance Manager, Zwipe
We've started to place a greater emphasis on culture within Zwipe. It's wonderful to see that each employee at Zwipe is equally contributing to the cultural development within the organization. This is a company-wide approach, and people have become more aware about growing and working towards a common objective. This has been a result of the strong culture-building initiative at Zwipe.
It's also fascinating to observe how employees within the company educate each other. This also allows everyone to collaborate on projects and build things together. We have a strong cultural base that promotes transparency and openness. Having a high awareness quotient and being available to help each other is remarkable in Zwipe.
In 2021, we added nine new positions, three of which were filled by women. We're also anticipating a significant expansion this year. This instills positivity and motivation in the team. Communication is also an important milestone in the culture-building process, and we are completely united in this. Communication is very transparent and also cross-functional communication has become very agile.
General Manager MENA region, Zwipe
With just over 30 Zwipers, we are successfully able to cater to the global market in a spectacular way. This is motivating because the level of the learning shared among team members eventually contributes and adds value to our clients. Everyday, you learn something new at Zwipe, thanks to such a vibrant team. We have a collaborative and agile work atmosphere where learning is never limited.
The growth of Zwipe in the MENA region has been significant, especially when considering the behavior of the payments market. The payment landscape in the region is agile, diversified, and dynamic to absorb innovative technologies, and countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq are among Zwipe's key targets.
In addition, Zwipe’s relation with the MENA region is critical because we are reaching out to regulators and schemes. This is critical to assist the entire ecosystem in raising industry awareness. Our collaboration with the Iraqi Central Bank is critical in this regard.
VP: Key Accounts, Zwipe
Having a collaborative, enthusiastic, and innovative culture with a solid ambition and focus is the core of Zwipe. All Zwipers have gone through a cultural journey of review, refresh, and discovery, both individually and within teams and companywide. The outcome of “growing the fruits” enables us to keep the collective culture fresh in our minds and sets a high bar for new joiners and during onboarding. Therefore, working at Zwipe is a pleasant experience.
On the business side, our “Push & Pull approach” is an excellent strategy to drive customers and market demand. While one team works with SCMs to promote our product, another team works directly with banks and issuers to generate interest. This is central to our USP.
This fall, I had the pleasure to attend ICT Cairo. Only by supporting this event, we were able to meet face to face both with our customer, Masria Digital Payments, but also crucially with potential clients for Zwipe Pay. We achieved more in those few days – building understanding, setting expectations, and driving awareness and interest – than we could in months of online meetings and presentations.
