A key element of this vision includes the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its BaaS Orchestrator solution, enhancing operational efficiency and reinforcing the Group’s leadership in the sector.

As part of its expansion strategy, BKN301 recently participated in the MENA Fintech Festival 2024 in Qatar, marking a significant step toward its global growth ambitions. The event provided a valuable platform for the Group to connect with key stakeholders, explore partnership opportunities, and showcase its innovative modular BaaS platform, BKN301 BaaS Orchestrator.

The BKN301 BaaS Orchestrator is designed for traditional banks, fintechs, neobanks, and digital banks, offering robust capabilities including core banking, payment processing, digital wallets, card issuing, API decoupling, cross-border services, and open banking. With the upcoming AI integration, the platform will gain advanced features in data analysis and fraud detection, positioning it as a transformative solution for financial institutions worldwide.

Stiven Muccioli, Founder and CEO of BKN301 Group, shared his thoughts on the MENA Fintech Festival, stating, “The event provided an excellent opportunity to showcase how our BaaS Orchestrator can drive operational efficiency and cost savings for financial institutions. It also allowed us to explore our services’ broader applicability across regional and international markets, reflecting our ambition to cater to a global audience.”

Muccioli emphasized the rapid evolution of the financial landscape, driven by AI-powered solutions and fintech innovation. “AI-ready infrastructure enhances data management with unmatched agility and scalability. To stay competitive and lead innovation, we are integrating AI into our platform to handle diverse data efficiently and drive growth,” he added.

The AI in fintech market is projected to grow from USD 14.79 billion in 2024 to USD 43.04 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.82%. Similarly, the MENA fintech market is expected to expand from USD 1.51 billion to USD 2.40 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 9.71%. With over 250 fintech startups in the region and the potential for more than 45 fintech unicorns by 2030, MENA is emerging as a key player in the global fintech landscape.
