Welcome to Fintech Tuesdays

Fintech Tuesdays (FTT) is a grassroots community, the first of its type in the MENA region, focused on supporting the fintech & techfin startups in the region. We are currently present and focussed on the UAE Fintech/ Techfin ecosystem with a clear intent to expand across other key nations in the region over a period of time.
