Fawry, Egypt’s leading nationwide Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) platform, has announced the launch of a new payment service that will enable customers to directly pay their traffic fines via the Fawry network of payment channels.

 The new service, which is made possible by an agreement signed with the Public Prosecution, marks yet another innovative way that Egypt’s EBPP leader is making convenient and efficient payment services readily available to government bodies and the public.

The service,will initially be launched in the Cairo and Giza governorates and will be gradually rolled out nationwide.

 Ashraf Sabry, CEO of Fawry, said: “Our new vehicle fine payment service is another great example of how Fawry is making payment-related services more convenient and efficient for both Egyptian government authorities and the public. From a consumer side, vehicle owners will be empowered with the freedom to quickly and easily pay their fines at thousands of locations in the Fawry network, thus removing the need to wait in long lines at traffic units.”

The service will first be available to 1.7 million of the 6 million registered vehicles in Cairo and Giza, and will subsequently be offered to the six million registered vehicles across Egypt once the service is offered nationwide. – TradeArabia News Service
