Financial Services Cairo 1,001–5,000 employees Founded 2015 Privately Held

Paymob operates a multi-market payments platform across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and Pakistan, holding regulatory licenses (payments facilitator, PSP, PTSP) in each. The tech stack is operationally mature—SQL, PostgreSQL, AWS/GCP/Azure, BI tools (Power BI, Looker, Tableau)—paired with fraud detection and merchant analytics workstreams. Hiring is sales-dominated (16 of 26 roles) and decelerating, suggesting they are optimizing merchant acquisition and retention rather than scaling new surfaces.

About Paymob

Paymob is a fintech infrastructure platform enabling merchants across MENA and Pakistan to accept online and offline payments, manage finances, and access payroll and lending products. Founded in 2015, the company serves over 390,000 merchants ranging from SMEs to regional enterprises (Foodics, IKEA, Uber, Shahid). It operates from five regional offices with approximately 1,100 employees. The platform integrates omnichannel payments acceptance (card, mobile wallet, ecommerce), merchant dashboards, reporting, and consumer finance products. Paymob was the first fintech to receive Egypt's Payments Facilitator license (2018) and has since achieved regulatory certification in Saudi Arabia (2023), Oman (2023), and UAE (2025).
