Hamdan confirmed the appointment via a LinkedIn post this week, saying he is “keen to collaborate with a talented team to embark the bank’s digital transformation journey,” his statement reads.
He joins the bank, which is headquartered in the country’s capital Amman, from Jordan’s first neobank Blink, where he has fulfilled the role of platform lead since December 2021.
Hamdan’s statement also thanked Blink’s CEO, Zein Malhas, for “her continuous support and guidance during my time at Blink”.
Prior to his previous position, Hamdan had also served as head of business development at the digital payment solutions provider Gate to Pay and at various posts within Cairo Amman Bank.
Bank of Jordan is continuing to explore the industry’s latest digital innovations and Hamdan will prove central to its ambitions of becoming a leader in the space.
His appointment comes less than two months after the bank launched its business banking platform to connect corporations with “flexible and advanced” banking solutions and tap into the digitalisation of financial, accounting and customer relations management.
At the time, the bank’s CEO, Saleh Hammad, spoke of witnessing “advanced technological progression” while confirming a shift in its efforts to invest in upcoming banking technology that is “on par with the global digital development changes”.
