The initiative expands access to citizens who own mobile phones but do not hold bank accounts or cards, making essential services available anytime with simple and seamless steps, without complex procedures.<\/p>\n<p>The framework agreement was signed by Ahmed Nabil, tpay General Manager, and Mohamed Shamroukh, President of NTRA, marking a key step toward enabling and operationalizing mobile-based government payments in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis development marks a turning point in enabling secure and frictionless payments for government services via mobile numbers,\u201d said Isik Uman, Group CEO of tpay. \u201cThrough this licensed framework, we are laying the foundation for a national digital payment channel that broadens access, improves convenience, and supports Egypt\u2019s evolving digital economy. Our mission as a payment connector is to simplify transactions and bring essential services closer to every citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Financial inclusion data indicates that 76.3% of Egyptian adults already hold active bank accounts, while mobile and mobile internet penetration is nearly universal, highlighting a major opportunity to extend digital payments to even more citizens through mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>This licensed framework reinforces tpay\u2019s role as the main payment enabler for mobile-based government services in Egypt, providing a trusted, flexible, and scalable pathway for government fee collection, and paving the way for further growth as more government services transition to digital channels.<\/p>\n<p>For media inquiries, please contact:<br \/>\nsafaa.elbanna@tpaymobile.com<\/p>\n<h2><strong>About tpay<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>tpay is the leading payment connector in the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META), dedicated to empowering digital transactions and expanding access to services across the region.
