In 2014, MadfooatCom won the bid for the Central Bank of Jordan’s project to build and operate eFAWATEERcom; the national electronic bill presentment and payment service in Jordan. Today, it is connected to 100% of the banks and more than 300 billers including all telecom, utilities, private and government sector billers (Customs dept., e-Gov, ministry of Finance, social security, traffic tickets, etc...), and has processed till date, more than 48 million bills paid worth of more than 32 billion USD.
