Al Ahli Payments Names Mohab Gamal CEO of Newly Formed ”Al Ahli Savings” App Infrastructure
Al Ahli Savings (Under Incorporation), a subsidiary of Al Ahli Financial Holding for Payments—the dedicated digital investment arm of the National Bank of Egypt (NBE)—has officially appointed Mohab Gamal as its Chief Executive Officer. The strategic executive appointment forms part of NBE’s broader operational roadmap to scale its non-banking financial services (NBFS) portfolio and accelerate its footprint within the high-growth fintech vertical.
The appointment coincides with Al Ahli Savings finalizing its technical and regulatory preparation phases ahead of its official commercial launch in the Egyptian retail market. The firm’s enterprise layout is engineered to look past traditional consumer banking models, focusing instead on deploying advanced electronic payment rails, smart collection systems, and automated business-to-business (B2B) digital solutions tailored for the market's evolving transaction frameworks.
An 18-Year Telecom and FinTech Track Record
Gamal brings approximately 18 years of specialized execution experience across the telecommunications and financial technology sectors, backed by a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce (Accounting and Business Administration) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). He initiated his career by spending six years within major telecom structures, managing operational pipelines at TE Data (now WE) and e& Egypt (Etisalat), before dedicating the subsequent 12 years to scaling digital payment infrastructure and enterprise market penetration.
Over the past five years, Gamal functioned as the Deputy CEO and Head of Business Development at Al Ahli Momken, another primary fintech node under the NBE umbrella. During his tenure, he successfully spearheaded major strategic integrations, migrating high volumes of legacy cash transactions into national digital pipelines like the InstaPay network and various private electronic clearing applications. Prior to his alignment with Al Ahli Momken, Gamal occupied the post of Head of Strategic Business at EGX-listed fintech pioneer Fawry, where he directed business development strategies and micro-payment scaling modules during periods of rapid market expansion.
Driving Sustainable Financial Inclusion
Commenting on his new executive mandate, Mohab Gamal stated: "I am deeply proud of the confidence placed in me by Al Ahli Financial Holding for Payments. This transition represents a vital operational milestone through which we aim to build on our previous infrastructure rollouts, moving past legacy remittance frameworks to shape a highly innovative financial services model. Our core focus during the upcoming deployment phase centers on constructing a sustainable technological utility, leveraging the group's collective experience to deliver automated digital savings and payment systems that directly lower consumer friction and strengthen responsible financial inclusion."
