As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing financial inclusion and providing the best digital solutions to its customers, Orange Jordan announced the launch of a new innovative service through Orange Money called “Tahweesheh”, representing a distinctive addition to the Jordanian market.

“Tahweesheh“ is a sub-account that enables customers to save easily and securely, with no interest or fees, helping them plan their personal financial goals and prioritize effectively. Customers can allocate specific amounts to the account and set diverse savings goals, such as a summer trip, school supplies, or emergency funds. The service also allows easy tracking of savings through account statements and managing multiple goals simultaneously by opening several sub-accounts.

The Chairman of Orange Money, Eng. Philippe Mansour, emphasized that the “Tahweesheh” account represents a significant new step in Orange Money Jordan’s journey to empower its customers with flexible money management. He noted that the service reflects the company’s commitment as a trusted partner in advancing financial inclusion, with a focus on empowering women and enhancing their economic participation, in line with the national financial inclusion strategy led by the Central Bank.

It is noteworthy that the service has been officially available since the second half of last year, and all Orange Money users can easily activate the sub-account through the app. With the launch of “Tahweesheh”, Orange Jordan reinforces its commitment to promoting sustainable financial practices among its customers by encouraging consistent saving habits, thereby fostering a long-term culture of financial independence.

The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Administration, has completed the activation of the online Property Financial Clearance Certificate service across most municipalities in the Kingdom, as part of the government’s digital transformation program.

The service has been activated in 104 municipalities, with the exception of Irbid and Bani Obaid municipalities. Activation procedures are currently being finalized in Irbid in preparation for its official launch. Beneficiaries can submit applications electronically through the Ministry of Local Administration’s e-services portal:

RealSoft Advanced Applications implemented and developed the electronic service as part of the Ministry of Local Administration’s digital transformation project. The company developed the required systems and enabled integration with municipalities and relevant entities to support electronic connectivity and reduce the need for paper-based transactions.
According to the Ministry, the activation of the service contributes to improving municipal operational efficiency and strengthening coordination among concerned entities. As of February 11, a total of 14,043 electronic applications have been submitted through the online Property Clearance Certificate service.

Jordanian Team Wins 1^st Place

Orange Summer Challenge 2025: Orange MEA Awards 3 Impact-Driven Startups

Orange Middle East and Africa (OMEA) held an award ceremony for the 3^rd International Orange Summer Challenge (OSC) this February, awarding three innovative startups developed by young entrepreneurs from Africa and the Middle East.

As a flagship program of the Orange Digital Centers, the Orange Summer Challenge is an international competition that supports young talents each year in turning their ideas into technology-based solutions with strong social and environmental impact.

The program highlights Orange Jordan’s unwavering commitment to empowering youth, enhancing their digital skills, expanding their employment opportunities, and offering the necessary expertise aligned with the labor market. This is facilitated through the Orange Digital Center (ODC) programs, including the Innovation Hub, Fabrication Lab, Coding School, and BIG by Orange, which contribute to providing expert mentorship and collaborative teamwork within a supportive environment, in line with the company’s approach to supporting innovation and connecting entrepreneurial projects with the Jordanian economy.

For the 2025 edition, 369 young innovators from 14 countries benefited from three months of intensive support provided by Orange MEA teams and Orange Digital Centers through training, mentoring, coaching and access to technological expertise. With the support of key partners, Amazon Web Services, Meta, UNDP, The Hashgraph Association, and Dar Blockchain, 56 startup projects were developed under the “Startup4Good” theme, addressing key sectors such as environment, health, education and agriculture.

This reflects Orange Group’s determination to position the Orange Digital Centers as open and inclusive innovation platforms. Deputy CEO and Chief Operations Officer of Orange Middle East and Africa, Ben Cheick Haidara, stated that for more than 16 years, Orange Summer Challenge has been a true catalyst for talent and innovation. More than competition, this program enables young entrepreneurs to develop technology-based solutions, notably leveraging artificial intelligence, to address societal and environmental challenges in a very concrete way. Through the Orange Digital Centers, Orange is firmly committed to supporting youth and fostering high-impact innovation across Africa and the Middle East.

The first place was awarded to SafeGuard from Jordan, receiving a grant of €22,000 to enable expanding its positive impact and continue offering its innovative solutions to society and the environment. The project offers smart safety devices for worksites, with features like live monitoring and comprehensive reporting, ensuring reinforced occupational safety, effectively reduces risks, and maintain safer and more efficient work environments.

On the occasion of Safer Internet Day 2026, which focuses this year on the theme “Smart Tech, Safe Choices – Exploring the Safe and Responsible Use of AI,” the Chief Executive Officer of Orange Jordan, Eng. Philippe Mansour, confirmed the company’s ongoing commitment to accelerating digital transformation, reinforcing its position as the true responsible digital leader. The company continues to support individuals and institutions in leveraging the latest digital technologies and in delivering faster and more innovative communication experiences, as part of its leadership in ensuring safe networks and a better digital ecosystem across all governorates in the Kingdom.

Digital Innovation Redefined with Orange

In parallel, Orange Jordan was the first to launch advanced digital services that redefined the customer experience, most notably a Self-Documentation digital journey embedding the “Electronic Know Your Customer” (eKYC) digital service, which unlocked a seamless and highly user-friendly experience, in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) and the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC).

This was acknowledged as an unprecedented step in the history of the Kingdom within the digital transformation sphere, as Orange Jordan was named the first to unveil a digital service that swiftly and safely allows customers to subscribe electronically to mobile lines and have their identity verified via “SANAD” app, or by capturing their face selfies and documents using their own personal devices, thus completing the self-documentation process from anywhere, and eliminating the need of visiting shops or points of sale.

Such simple and innovative customer journey, incorporating the eKYC digital service, effectively demonstrates Orange Jordan’s values of Caring, Responsible, and Bold, as well as its strategic decisions aimed at creating an outstanding customer experience by delivering fast and safe services that rethink digital innovation.

Leadership in Reshaping the Digital Ecosystem

Orange Jordan continued to expand its powerful digital ecosystem footprint as a digital leader in Jordan, emphasized by “Max it”, the first integrated super application to be launched in the Kingdom. This cutting-edge application provides an easier, faster, and more comprehensive digital experience as it brings together all Orange services, including My Orange, Orange Money, jood, Roamkit, and Weinak into one secure and unified platform. Through it, customers can manage multiple transactions and activities like subscriptions, paying bills, transferring money, accessing marketplaces, tracking reward points, multiline management, and more, to reshape the future of the digital economy in the Kingdom.

Echo Technology has completed the development and delivery of the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI) mobile application, a comprehensive digital platform designed to improve access to water and wastewater services and strengthen digital communication between the Ministry and citizens.

The application provides users with a unified and secure digital channel to manage subscriptions, access service information, and interact with the Ministry efficiently.
