Who is Amira Yahyaoui?
Amira Yahyaoui is a co-founder of Mos, a fintech startup seeking to revolutionize how people use digital payment methods to access and manage money. Amira and her co-founders began Mos in 2018 with a mission to provide “true financial inclusion”, relying on cutting edge technologies including blockchain, AI/machine learning, open banking, biometrics and more.
Before joining this venture, Amira served as an investment analyst at OTB Ventures in London and advised several US and African startups. In the past, she’s co-founded Subsidery & BeepOne in association with several peers who worked for Uber globally. Before this, she worked with Accenture where she advised big corporations across UK & Europe in their respective digital transformations.
Amira believes it takes disruptive innovation to bring about meaningful change in the lives of people divorced from technology due to language barriers or socio-economic reasons. Her goal through Mos is to create a new financial world that promotes financial inclusion, expanding inclusion beyond banking services into savings products and insurance. The key product offering of Mos – INSTA Payments powered by blockchain technology holds potential for reaching financial goals faster than traditional methods like stocks, bonds or equity investing ever could.
What is Mos?
Mos is an innovative fintech startup created by Amira Yahyaoui, a former investment banker from Tunisia. She describes the company as a “radical” approach to banking and financial service provision, which seeks to use finance as a tool for regional development. Mos is a mobile banking app that gives users access to payment services and other applications such as budget tracking, invoice payments and loan services.
In her vision, Mos seeks to democratize banking and empower young people in the region with greater access to financial services. It also seeks to reduce vulnerability by offering users better understanding of their finances and ability to save money safely. The website is bilingual –both English and Arabic –and its interface is designed for maximum user-friendliness on any device or platform.
Moreover, Mos uses blockchain technology for its payment infrastructure, offering more security and transparency than traditional systems. As a result, it allows users to send money quickly and easily within Tunisia (or other countries at some point) without incurring extra fees or commissions or depending on foreign exchange rates of traditional banking institutions.
Finally, it provides customers access to other innovative features like setting digital ‘caps’ on spending categories such as bills, entertainment, etc., private financial goals management with gamification or goal setting tools.

Mos’s Strategies
Amira Yahyaoui, the founder of the fintech startup Mos, has made it her mission to create a revolutionary system that will make digital banking more accessible for people worldwide. She wants Mos to be a ‘radical’ fintech startup that will challenge the status quo.
To make this vision a reality, Yahyaoui has set out various strategies for Mos to succeed. Let’s take a look at what these strategies are.
Leveraging blockchain technology
In her quest to make Mos a success, Amira Yahyaoui has focused on leveraging the latest technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). By leveraging these newer technologies, Mos can provide a radical new way of managing financial services.
The use of blockchain technology allows Mos to securely store customer data and provides strong encryption for maximum security and privacy. This means that customer data is safeguarded against any potential cyber threats, minimizing financial fraud risk. Additionally, blockchain technology enables fast transaction times and eliminates the need for middlemen or third parties when transferring funds. This translates into higher customer satisfaction and improved customer experience since transactions are completed without delay or added fees.
On top of this, AI is used by Mos to deliver personalized services and insights to its customers. For example, through Machine Learning algorithms, AI can automate tedious manual process such as tracking financial activity over time for precision and accuracy in delivering relevant offers that customers might benefit from. Furthermore, AI could help Mos implement intelligent monitoring systems that can report suspicious activities undertaken by users to prevent fraud or money laundering across their platform.
Developing mobile-first solutions
Amira Yahyaoui, the founder of Mos, is focused on developing mobile-first solutions that make it easier for people to manage their financial lives. Yahyaoui’s ultimate goal is for MOS to become a “radical” fintech startup. With this aim in mind, she has positioned Mos at the vanguard of fintech innovation. She has successfully brought numerous partners such as Kabbage, Braintree and Wooyo to deliver the Mos products and services.
By leveraging new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), blockchain and distributed ledgers, Mos can more securely share user data. Additionally, MOS offers an innovative Payments Switch Network that allows users to securely send payments via its app or website with one simple click. The system also enables peer-to-peer payments without third-party involvement and allows instant money transfers across multiple currencies within minutes.
Furthermore, using Open Banking systems such as PSD2 (Payment Services Directive II) or APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), Mos provides customers with comprehensive financial management tools that allow users to access real time data from other Banks’ platforms including budgeting information or access loan options directly from their chosen Bank provider via the app. These open banking services embrace a revolutionary approach allowing users unprecedented control over their finances like never before for greater convenience when managing their money – anytime anywhere!
Building a global network of partners
Amira Yahyaoui is determined to make Mos the world’s first global ‘radical’ fintech platform. To achieve this, she has identified the need for building a global network of strategic partners. Through these partnerships, Mos would have access to international financial and non-financial services from various markets, allowing it to become a best-in-class fintech platform.
Mos works with prominent companies in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the US including banks, venture capitalists, traditional lenders and technology companies. This would allow Mos to leverage on their financial and technological expertise while also creating collaboration opportunities that could result in unique services. The key is to identify partners who speak Mos’ vision of offering users different financial products as per their needs with flexible pricing options.
By bringing together a network of providers that offer different services across diverse markets worldwide, Yahyaoui believes that she can create an environment where users have access to better financial products suited to their individual needs regardless of location or income level. As such, Yahyaoui hopes that building a global network of partners will enable Mos to achieve its mission – providing users with affordable and tailored services at their fingertips so they can be financially empowered.
Conclusion
Amira Yahyaoui has set out to make Mos a success by pushing the boundaries and taking risks. Mos was created with the intention of being disruptive in the traditional fintech and banking world, offering innovative services and products that prioritize user experience.
Yahyaoui leveraged her intimate knowledge of the customer needs and behavior in the market to create a product that stands out from other fintechs, emphasizing convenience, transparency, privacy, and customer service.
