Thawani Technologies Climbs Forbes Middle East’s Top 50 Fintech Ladder

Thawani Technologies has once again found itself in the spotlight, grabbing a well-deserved spot on Forbes Middle East’s coveted list of the region's top 50 fintech companies. Indeed, for the second year on the trot, this growing Omani fintech firm secured a position, moving up an impressive four ranks—from 40th place last year to a solid 36th place for 2025.

This recognition from Forbes Middle East certainly didn’t come without good reason. Companies featured on the list go through a rigorous vetting process, with everything from funding and digital transactions to customer growth, geographic reach, app downloads, and overall impact carefully scrutinised. Seeing Thawani climb higher this year indicates a tangible measure of their success and influence within the highly competitive fintech arena.

Eng. Majid Al Amri, the company's CEO, understandably took pride in the news. Speaking about the milestone, he underlined Thawani's commitment to introducing cutting-edge financial solutions that promote Oman’s ongoing digital transformation journey. Al Amri pointed out how this achievement signals not only the strength of his own firm but also the broader Omani fintech sector as a whole, which continues to mature and make heads turn across the region.

This success isn't merely symbolic—it aligns conveniently with Oman Vision 2040, the country's long-term plan aiming to diversify its economy and build a robust digital infrastructure. Thawani Technologies plays its part by actively driving financial inclusion and supporting innovation in digital transations, contributing significantly to Oman's emergence as a fintech powerhouse in the Gulf area.

It seems Thawani has clearly found the right recipe for success—blending solid tech innovation with the sort of consistent performance that Forbes loves to highlight. And if recent trends are anything to judge by, it's clear that Oman's fintech story is only just beginning.
