HyperPay raises the bar for regional fintech with three prestigious awards
Founded by Muhannad Ebwini, HyperPay has steadily grown from a payment service provider (PSP) into one of the region's most trusted digital payment platforms. Its main focus is creating intelligent, secure, and enterprise-ready financial infrastructure that enables both private and public sector clients to succeed in a growing digital-first world.
This mission was recently recognized at the Fintech Summit Middle East 2025, where HyperPay was honored with three prestigious Peacock Awards, further strengthening its reputation as an industry leader. Among them was the coveted 'Next-Gen Fintech Disruptor' award, awarded to CEO and Founder Ebwini for his bold leadership and transformative influence on the region's financial ecosystems. HyperPay also received awards for 'Excellence in Digital Payment Infrastructure Innovation' and 'Innovation in B2B Payment Solutions,' marking a pivotal moment in the company's evolution from a local payment service provider (PSP) to a regional fintech powerhouse.
The recognition of Ebwini as a next-generation fintech disruptor comes at a time when HyperPay is quickly forming partnerships and expanding its capabilities. His leadership has been essential in reaching milestones such as obtaining a license from the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) to launch innovative digital payment solutions, aligning with Saudi Arabia's ambitious Vision 2030.
The 'Excellence in Digital Payment Infrastructure Innovation' award recognizes HyperPay's dedication to creating scalable, secure, and advanced payment systems that serve a wide range of stakeholders, from government agencies to small and medium-sized businesses.

Egypt to boost gas production after years of decline, prime minister says
Egypt's gas production is expected to reach 6.6 billion cubic feet per day by 2027, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Wednesday. Egypt's natural gas production began declining in 2022, forcing it to become a net gas importer whether through expensive liquefied natural gas cargoes or through Israeli supplies. The North African nation's production is currently 4.1 billion cubic feet per day, Madbouly said. The decline in output over recent years has been driven mainly by a hard currency shortage that limited the government's ability to pay international oil companies. "Foreign investors and partners have resumed investments as a result of our commitment to pay off the accumulated arrears, so we have clear plans to return to previous production levels (of 6.6 billion cubic feet daily) over the next two years," Madbouly said. Madbouly said last month that Egypt has paid $1 billion to international oil companies and it was set to pay another $1.4 billion before the end of the year.

Our strategic growth initiatives and recent acquisition are designed to future-proof the company, positioning us for success in an evolving financial landscape. In addition, we have begun integrating AI into our systems, and the early results have been promising and have exceeded initial expectations," he added. "As we look ahead, we remain deeply aligned with the UAE's and the GCC's overall vision for a digitally empowered and inclusive economy. We will continue investing in technology, focusing on customer experience, and pursuing sustainable growth that delivers long-term value to our shareholders, customers, and the communities we serve.'

This acquisition is crucial for the Group as it expands our geographic reach and enhances our ability to serve a wider and larger customer base with greater scale and capability.

Designed with accessibility and ease-of-use in mind, the wallet will empower customers to store, send, and spend money more conveniently and securely than ever before.
