Umniah brings people together, redefines possibilities and enriches experiences.
Umniah entered the Jordanian market in 2005 to democratize connectivity and technology in a way that made it available to everyone. A subsidiary of Bahrain’s Batelco Group, the company is committed to disruptive innovation and is today one of the region’s fastest-growing telecommunications providers. It offers high-quality mobile, Internet and enterprise solutions, making technology accessible and affordable to a base of around three million customers in a highly competitive market.
Umniah is spearheading the digital revolution in the country, advancing core technologies like mobile productivity, security, cloud computing and mobile payments, continuously pushing the limits of digital technologies in order to enhance day-to-day experiences.
With the surge of usage on its network from the mandatory lockdowns, Umniah expanded its network and infrastructure, and continued to implement its ambitious strategy to advance the Jordanian telecommunications landscape by investing in the most innovative technological developments.
Umniah also expanded its fiber-optic service coverage throughout the Kingdom, now reaching more than 600,000 households and businesses, with corporate and individual subscribers enjoying high Internet speeds that facilitate their digital experiences.
In response to the exceptional global circumstances, Umniah rapidly shifted towards digital transformation without jeopardizing productivity levels, launching services including UWallet, and collaborating with multinationals to allow people to manage all their financial transactions through their mobile phones effectively, safely and quickly.
Moreover, Umniah partners with like-minded organizations to create initiatives that build strong relationships with stakeholders, with a focus on youth and education. Umniah engages positively with its communities, supporting the development process in the Kingdom in a manner that furthers inclusivity, cohesion and the greater good.
On another hand, Umniah gives back to its communities, working to alleviate their difficulties by setting benchmarks for corporate social responsibility and expanding the use of technology to facilitate and support people’s lives.
The company champions education, launching the five-year Forsa Playgrounds Initiative in 2021, which aims to renovate and repair public school playgrounds. The JD1 million initiative will realize a more comprehensive learning environment for students, helping them adopt healthy habits and improve their mental health and mindset.
The Tank, Umniah’s business incubator, offers support to the nation’s business owners, entrepreneurs, startups and students with innovative ideas. Umniah consistently pushes forward in its drive to foster a culture of entrepreneurship as well as a technological revolution in both Jordan and the region, mentoring entrepreneurs and giving them access to capital that helps them turn their ideas into thriving businesses.
With guidance from experts, trainers and mentors, startups incubated with Umniah can scale and grow using resources and programs meticulously created with their needs in mind, while simultaneously giving them access to global resources that help turn ideas into sustainable businesses.
