Fintech, Licensing, Payments & Consumer Finance
Egypt is one of the most active fintech markets in Africa and the Middle East. It is also one of the most regulated. Getting a product to market — whether a payment wallet, a lending platform, or a digital banking service — requires navigating a regulatory environment that moves quickly and does not forgive shortcuts.

Who This Is For
We work with organisations that…
You are applying for a CBE licence
You are building a fintech product that requires Central Bank of Egypt authorisation — a payment service provider licence, an e-money licence, or a digital banking licence.
You are launching a payment or lending product
You have the licence (or are close to getting it) and now need to design and launch a product that is commercially viable, technically sound, and compliant from day one.
You are conducting a regulatory review of an existing product
Regulations have changed, or your product has evolved beyond its original licence scope. You need to assess your current compliance position and remediate any gaps.
Navigating CBE regulation requires experience.
We have obtained 11 CBE licences for clients across payment, lending, and digital banking categories. We know the process, the documentation, and the relationships required.
Tell us where you are in the licensing process and we will tell you what it takes to get across the line.
