Scope
- To boost financial inclusion and promote debit card usage, in April 2023, the central bank mandated banks to provide accounts with no minimum deposits and fees, including a free debit card. For example, Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait offers financial inclusion accounts called Sohoula and Bedaya (for freelancers) with no account opening fees, no minimum balance requirements, and free debit cards.
- The IPN instant fund transfer system was launched in March 2022 by the Central Bank of Egypt. It allows users to make instant payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year with a transaction limit of EGP70,000 ($2,827.42). More than 27 partner banks within Egypt participate in IPN. The system enables account-to-account transfers between customers of participating banks. Transfers can be initiated via multiple channels, including internet and mobile banking. It also allows fund transfers to bank accounts, mobile wallets, Meeza cards, and payment cards.
- The growing popularity of buy now pay later (BNPL) solutions poses a threat to the credit card market. Rising inflation has led many consumers to opt for BNPL services, which provide payments in easy installments even for low-value transactions. In September 2022, BNPL services provider Tabby was launched in Egypt. Tabby's Split in 4 service enables shoppers to split purchases into four interest-free payments at both online and offline stores. Meanwhile, online shopping site Jumia is planning to launch its BNPL service in the country.
