ISLAMABAD: Murtaza Ali, Chief Ex-ecutive Officer of JazzCash, Pakistan’s leading digital financial services platform and part of VEON Ltd, has been appointed to the Global Jury of The Money Awards by Money20/20, where he will evaluate entries in the banking category.

The Money Awards by Money20/20 are one of fintech’s most credible recognition programmes globally, celebrating innovation across banking, payments, partnerships, and startups. The independent Global Jury evaluates submissions through a transparent, multi-stage process, including online assessments and in-person deliberations at Money20/20 USA in October 2026.

“The Money Awards holds financial innovation to proof. Being part of the jury, learning from the institutions defining the global standard, and bringing that lens back to Pakistan is precisely the kind of exchange that moves this market forward,” said Murtaza Ali, CEO of JazzCash.
