About Financial Guardian

Financial Guardian team meeting in a modern office space

Our Story

Financial Guardian was founded in 2020 by Dr. Rania Khalil and Omar Haddad, who recognized a critical gap in Jordan's financial landscape: everyday citizens lacked access to practical strategies for protecting their savings against inflation. As the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated economic volatility in Jordan, this need became even more pressing.

Both founders had witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of savings erosion during their careers in banking and academia. Dr. Khalil's research at the Central Bank of Jordan had revealed that traditional financial advice often failed to address the specific challenges of Jordan's economy. Meanwhile, Omar's work with investment clients showed that effective inflation protection strategies were typically reserved for the wealthy.

Starting with a small blog and free community workshops, Financial Guardian quickly gained recognition for translating complex economic concepts into practical advice. By 2022, our team had expanded to include researchers, financial analysts, and technology specialists, all united by a common mission: democratizing financial knowledge to help ordinary Jordanians preserve their wealth.

Today, Financial Guardian serves thousands of clients across Jordan, offering personalized financial guidance, innovative digital tools, and ongoing education that empowers people to make informed decisions about their savings in an inflationary environment.
