Electronic Transactions Reshape Egypt's Economy - 3 views

  • The rise of online banking around the world has helped other economies solve these very challenges. Cash, for example, is hard to transport. Coins and bills are prone to theft, and their use makes dodging taxes easier for those so inclined. For individuals who must pay in person, getting across a gridlocked city like Cairo is logistically difficult. Together, these problems can constrain an economy. In Egypt, where 94 percent of all transactions were cash as recently as 2014, such a system stymies economic growth.
  • Fawry is part of a new wave of technology companies ushering Egypt into the digital age. Many of these firms are helping transform industries like banking, health care, and transport, and in the process creating good jobs for young Egyptians, more than 30 percent of whom are unemployed.
  • Sabry, a former salesperson at IBM Egypt, launched Fawry because he knew these issues kept Egypt’s economy from achieving its promise. The early years were lean as the company worked to convince tech-wary Egyptians that Fawry’s systems were secure—and that their money wouldn’t disappear into an electronic void.

  • “Time is of the essence, and Fawry saves me a lot of it,” says Shawky, who owns three electronics stores in the Egyptian capital.
    • kenzabenessalah
       
      Fawry is available for its customers day and night which attracts a large range of people.
  • It was something that Cairo-based shop owner Nader Shawky had come to dread: paying his phone bill. Every month, he trekked to the offices of his mobile provider where he and dozens of others stood in line—sometimes for up to two hours—to settle their bills. It was, he admits, a maddening process.
    • samielbaqqali
       
      By providing online banking financial administrations that allow you to cover your bills, transfer cash, and access a record of your checking account transactions from your internet browser, Fawry makes the life of its clients less difficult. Banking from anywhere, at any time of day or night, makes it a little easier to do anything you do about your finances.
  • Fawry, a fast-growing Cairo-based company that specializes in electronic payments, makes it possible for Shawky to take care of his accounts online.
  • Fawry’s growth has had a profound effect on Egypt’s economy, says Akef el Maghrabi, the vice chairman of Banque Misr, one of Egypt’s biggest banks and an early Fawry partner. “When you eliminate or reduce the reliance on cash, then you fight corruption, you provide convenience, you lower costs, and you grow the economy. [Electronic payments] do a lot of good for the country.”
    • ayachehbouni
       
      With a system that relies mainly on cash transactions, the economy faces too many challenges that stops its growth and development. For instance, cash is hard to transport, coins and bills can easily be stolen, and their use makes dodging taxes and corruption easier.
  • IFC invested $6 million in Fawry in 2013 and helped guide founder Ashraf Sabry and his team as they built their business. Now the 12-year-old company handles 2.5 million transactions a day. In 2018 Fawry processed 40 billion Egyptian pounds (about $2.5 billion) in electronic payments. Earlier in 2019, Fawry became Egypt’s largest financial technology firm to list on the national stock exchange. It now employs 1,600 people.

Banking from anywhere, at any time of day or night, makes it a little easier to do anything you do about your finances.
  • As the Fawry network grew, shop owners who installed the system saw significant benefits, too. Fawry’s terminals drew new customers into stores, providing the consumer traffic that is the lifeblood of small shops. Mahmoud El Rawy, a grocery store owner and father of three, can attest to that. His shop struggled until he installed a Fawry payment terminal. “Fawry has had a big impact on my business,” says El Rawy, who now owns three supermarkets. “It helped bring me more customers and it’s why many come to me now.”

    Fawry is making the life of its customers less difficult by offering online banking financial administrations that empower you to cover your bills, move cash, and access a record of your checking account transactions from your internet browser. Banking from anywhere, at any time of the day or night, makes all what you do with your finances somewhat simpler.

  • AIRO: There is a growing demand among Egyptian consumers for more convenient payment methods, according to a recent survey conducted by Fawry, the first nationwide electronic payment service in Egypt. Over 90 percent of Egyptians said that saving time was their primary concern when it comes to paying bills.
    • hibaerrai
       
      Even if Fawry is the leader in the egyptian market, consumers still require more services as they want the app to be more efficient and time saving.
  • Ashraf Sabry, CEO of Fawry, said, “Research conducted for Fawry by IPSOS showed that 85.6 percent of respondents surveyed are seeking more efficient payment methods for household bills. The average Egyptian family has between 15 to 17 regular payments to make. These include mobile and landline bills, utilities, insurance, school or university fees and much more.
  • Fawry was established in response to growing consumer demand for alternative payment methods that simplify the process of receiving bills and paying them. Fawry today has 12,000 Fawry payment points across the country, that form one-stop-shop, instant, multiple-bill payment locations
  •  
    These two excerpts show that most Egyptians seek a convenient and quick way to pay bills as the number of daily transactions made by one household exceeds 15. Fawry came up with the right digital solution for these people whom 80% of them don't have a bank account.
