Mokhtar Ahmed
@mokhtarahmed
Senior financial operations and digital payments professional using Python, SQL, and Power BI to automate reconciliation.
What I'm looking for
With over five years of experience in the banking and payment services industry, I deliver measurable results across multiple financial institutions. I started at Arab Bank Egypt and completed an intensive training program at Arab Bank Jordan, then led the Transfers Hub for Gulf country operations to build strong hands-on cross-border payment expertise.
In my roles across banks, I’ve strengthened payment operations through reconciliation and automation—designing an efficient reconciliation process for ACH General Ledger accounts and automating reporting for SWIFT-received transfers to improve cost and time performance. I also bring deep experience reconciling Instapay Network (IPN) transactions and managing outward and incoming transfers with accuracy and compliance.
Today, I’m expanding my knowledge in digital payments and blockchain technologies while working at Fawry. I’m passionate about leveraging automation, data-driven insights, and innovative technologies to enhance operational efficiency and deliver reliable, scalable payment services.
