Over the years we have established ourselves as a leading acquirer in the UAE and Jordan, and we are quickly expanding our expertise to the Egyptian market as well. It is our endeavor to tap into the growth opportunity the country presents, whist supporting the Central Bank of Egypt’s (CBE) strategy towards turning into a cashless economy and Egypt Vision 2030.”

We already have more than 500 merchants onboard using 700+ terminals. Network has been at the forefront of driving digital payments acceptance and broader financial inclusion in Africa and with the introduction of networkpay we strive to provide a significant boost to Egypt’s economy by making payments more accessible to all.”
