Points clés à retenir
The Egyptian market has witnessed a notable uptick in card usage, with more than 30 million cards in circulation. Prepaid cards, in particular, have seen a surge in usage, surpassing both debit and credit cards combined. This growth, amounting to around 14% over the past four years, can be attributed to the incentives introduced by fintech companies and banks. These incentives have enticed millions of Egyptian consumers who previously relied heavily on cash for their transactions. However, the adoption of corporate cards presents a different narrative. Despite the rise in card usage among individuals, businesses of all sizes have been hesitant to embrace corporate cards due to limited access and inadequate spending controls. Traditionally, banks have been the main providers of corporate cards in Egypt. However, fintech companies are now entering the market to address these challenges and drive increased adoption of corporate cards among businesses.
