The new move will open a new chapter of electronic payments for consumers in Jordan following the authorization of the integration by the Central Bank of Jordan.
"Jordan is a great candidate to top Arab countries in the highest rates of penetration of cashless payment services. This integration will let consumers in the kingdom avail themselves to an innovative cardless and cashless payment service," said Ziad Alshobaki, MOBIbucks managing director of MENA operations. "The integration will enable more consumers to benefit from MOBIbucks innovative solutions, which enable consumers to make everyday purchases using just a mobile phone number, without the need for cash, card or even for the mobile phone to be in the user's possession at the time of the purchase."
Alshobaki added: "Upon the completion of this challenging project with Central Bank of Jordan, MEPS will offer the MOBIbucks mobile payment solution to end users, banks, as well as to businesses, such as restaurants, fast food outlets, and coffee shops."

Alshobaki said: "MEPS is laying the foundation to empower consumers in Jordan with the most innovative and contemporary method for doing payment transactions. We are delighted to contribute in this vision."
