The company offers a range of digital payment solutions and services through various payment channels and a nationwide network of point-of-sale terminals. Its offerings include bill payments, money transfers, collections, and mobile and e-wallet payments, as well as tailored collection solutions for merchants and customers.
MadfoatCom emphasized the significance of this investment in strengthening collaboration between the Jordanian and Egyptian markets, as well as in expanding its business operations.

This vision highlights the importance of digital payments and electronic transactions, which are poised for substantial growth and adoption in Jordan and beyond.
