Mastercard launches partnership to empower migrant workers to participate in the digital economy
Mastercard have announced a partnership with Monak to advance financial inclusion for unbanked workers across MENA with the launch of a new digital financial services platform Mastercard has joined forces with Monak, an Oman-based fintech company, to launch a digital financial services platform that enhances cross-border money transfers for migrant workers and improves wage disbursement and onboarding processes for employers. The platform also reduces the cost and complexity traditionally associated with basic financial services, thereby supporting broader efforts to drive financial inclusion. The initiative addresses key challenges faced by migrant workers; a segment historically underserved by formal financial services. By providing access to seamless money movement and expense management tools, typically delayed by slower onboarding processes, the partnership aims to reduce disparities and contribute to greater economic stability for workers and their families. According to the latest estimates from the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), GCC countries are home to over 30 million foreign workers constituting more than a half of the region's inhabitants. This sizable migrant population highlights the significance of companies like Monak that focus on addressing the unique challenges and opportunities presented by migration. The company equips migrant workers with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the digital financial landscape effectively. 'Everyone deserves the freedom to thrive in the digital economy. When people benefit from the ease of money movement, convenience of digital wages and financial services access, it also provides confidence when working far from home, which is why this is such a benefit for migrant workers. Mastercard is committed to enabling secure, convenient and inclusive solutions that meet the needs of communities. Through our partnership with Monak, we are advancing our efforts to empower migrant workers and ensure they can fully participate in the digital economy beyond their own borders,' said Muhammad Nana, Senior Vice President, Digital Partnerships, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (EEMEA) at Mastercard. This collaboration builds on Mastercard's longstanding commitment to advancing financial inclusion in underserved communities. Through its products, partnerships, and platforms, Mastercard is enabling more people to participate in the digital economy – creating pathways to financial security and improving access to essential services. 'We are delighted to team up with Mastercard, to offer seamless and user-friendly financial services experience to our valued partners across the Middle East, Asia and Africa. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our expansion strategy, particularly within the burgeoning Middle East market, reinforces our mission to enable inclusive digital transformation,' said Said Salim Al Shanfari, co-founder and managing director, Monak. Employers will also benefit from the platform's integrated capabilities that facilitate recruitment, onboarding and payroll. The platform allows for timely wage disbursements and enables workers to remit earnings back to their families quickly and securely – helping improve worker satisfaction and operational efficiency. This multifaceted approach underscores the shared commitment by Mastercard and Monak to driving positive financial outcomes and fostering economic growth across emerging markets. Additionally, promoting digital literacy and financial literacy is a crucial component of Monak's mission, ensuring that users are not only empowered with financial services but also equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate the digital financial landscape effectively. Monak is among the first Omani companies to join the prestigious Sanabil 500 MENA Seed Accelerator Program by 500 Global and Sanabil Investments – a testament to its dedication to innovation and excellence.

Gulf banks poised for robust loan growth amid rate cut expectations
The Gulf's largest banks are set to experience strong loan growth through the remainder of 2025, driven by anticipated interest rate cuts in line with the US Federal Reserve, according to analysts at S&P Global Ratings. The Fed is expected to implement two rate cuts this year, with the first likely in September. Banks in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are projected to benefit the most from the easing cycle. As lending activity picked up, net interest income (NII) rose across most major GCC banks in the second quarter, supported by lower regional rates and stronger loan demand. Saudi Arabia's Al Rajhi Banking & Investment Corp led the region with a sharp rise in loan growth, surging to 19.31 per cent from 7.37 per cent a year earlier. Saudi National Bank followed with a year-on-year increase to 12.21 per cent from 10.25 per cent. In the UAE, First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC saw loan growth accelerate to 10.71 per cent from 6.34 per cent, prompting the lender to upgrade its full-year guidance to low double-digit growth. Emirates NBD Bank PJSC also revised its forecast upward after reporting 14.28 per cent loan growth in Q2. Qatar National Bank QPSC (QNB) posted 9.38 per cent loan growth and raised its guidance to 7 per cent–9 per cent, up from 5 per cent–7 per cent. Nearly half of this growth stemmed from its Turkish operations, according to Durraiz Khan, senior vice president for group financial consolidation. Despite margin pressures from high interest rates in Turkey, QNB's NII rose to $2.34 billion from $2.12 billion a year earlier. Khan noted that net interest margins (NIM) could recover if Turkey proceeds with expected rate cuts in the second half of the year, as deposits in Turkey reprice faster than loans. Emirates NBD, which operates in Turkey via DenizBank AS, saw its Q2 NIM decline by 22 basis points to 3.36 per cent. The bank expects full-year NIM to range between 3.3 per cent and 3.5 per cent, supported by a potential recovery in DenizBank's margins. Its NII rose 6 per cent year over year to $2.28 billion. According to Fitch Ratings, GCC banks with Turkish exposure could see net monetary losses ease if inflation in Turkey continues to cool. Al Rajhi Bank posted the highest NII growth among the sampled banks, up 25 per cent year over year to $1.95 billion. This, along with gains in net financing, investment income, and banking fees, lifted its Q2 net profit to $1.64 billion—a 31 per cent increase. First Abu Dhabi Bank reported a record quarterly profit of $1.50 billion, up 29 per cent from a year earlier. Saudi National Bank and QNB also saw net income rise by 18 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively. Emirates NBD was the only bank in the sample to report a year-on-year profit decline, down 10 per cent, due to a $31 million impairment charge compared to a $374 million reversal in the same period last year. Outlook With monetary easing on the horizon and regional economies maintaining momentum, Gulf banks are well-positioned to capitalise on rising credit demand. Continued rate cuts, particularly in Turkey, could further support margin recovery and profitability for banks with cross-border exposure. As the macroeconomic environment stabilises, the region's top lenders are likely to maintain their growth trajectory, reinforcing their role as key drivers of financial activity across the GCC.
