Network International has enabled Apple Pay acceptance for four major banks in Egypt, marking a significant milestone in the country’s digital payments transformation. This initiative, part of the Central Bank of Egypt’s third wave of tokenisation licences, highlights the rapid modernization of North Africa’s payment ecosystem and the growing adoption of secure, contactless transactions.
The tokenisation program allows clients to register payment cards on smartphones, enabling seamless contactless payments at both point-of-sale terminals and online platforms. This technology enhances transaction efficiency while improving security for end users, supporting Egypt’s broader push toward a secure and digital-first economy.
Supporting all four banks’ go-lives simultaneously demonstrates the strength, agility, and reliability of Network International’s processing platform. The successful execution underscores the company’s ability to deliver large-scale, multi-bank digital payment projects while maintaining high standards of operational resilience, service quality, and security.
Network International’s move aligns with its strategy to expand its footprint and build brand presence across the region. The company’s long-standing commitment to Egypt’s payments landscape reflects both its local expertise and its role in supporting financial institutions in transforming their digital services.
Dr. Reda Helal, Group Managing Director of Processing (Africa) at Network International, emphasized the importance of this achievement in accelerating secure and scalable digital payments across Egypt. He highlighted that the project demonstrates the company’s operational robustness and the expertise of its local teams in driving impactful digital transformation.
