Malhas moves from Capital Bank of Jordan, where she spent nearly four years in various senior roles, most recently as chief digital officer.
Previously, she also worked at Standard Chartered and Housing Bank for Trade and Finance.
Blink is a new mobile bank in Jordan. It comes with an app and a debit card. It also offers a credit card, money transfers and ATM deposits and withdrawals.
It says it takes about 15 minutes to open a Blink account and all that’s needed is a smartphone and a valid Jordanian national ID.
“Bank like you’ve never banked before. With more freedom, more control and more flexibility,” the start-up says on its website. “It only takes a Blink.”
The team behind Blink is “a group of young, passionate, tech-savvy and diverse individuals tied together by a solid moral code”, the company says.
