Cairo, Egypt – 11 December 2025 – In a move aimed at promoting financial inclusion and providing new payment channels for all segments of Egyptian society, tpay, the leading value-added services provider, announced today the signing of Egypt’s first license with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to offer Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) for government payments.
This milestone represents a significant step in advancing digital payments in Egypt, allowing citizens to pay for essential government services such as electricity and utility bills, traffic fines, and civil registry services directly through their mobile balance or added to their monthly mobile bill. 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.
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.
“This development marks a turning point in enabling secure and frictionless payments for government services via mobile numbers,” said Isik Uman, Group CEO of tpay. “Through this licensed framework, we are laying the foundation for a national digital payment channel that broadens access, improves convenience, and supports Egypt’s evolving digital economy. Our mission as a payment connector is to simplify transactions and bring essential services closer to every citizen.”
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.
This licensed framework reinforces tpay’s 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.

القاهرة، مصر، ١١ ديسمبر ٢٠٢٥ – في خطوة تهدف إلى تعزيز الشمول المالي وإتاحة خدمات ووسائل دفع جديدة لجميع فئات المجتمع المصري، أعلنت شركة تي باي (tpay)لخدمات القيمة المضافة عن توقيع أول ترخيص في مصر مع الجهاز القومي لتنظيم الاتصالات لتقديم خدمات الدفع المباشر عبر الهاتف المحمول للمدفوعات الحكومية.
وتمثل هذه الخطوة نجاحًا جديدًا في مسار تطوير المدفوعات الرقمية في مصر، حيث يتيح للمواطنين دفع رسوم الخدمات الحكومية الأساسية مثل الكهرباء والمرافق والمخالفات المرورية وخدمات السجل المدني مباشرة عبر رصيد الهاتف المحمول أو من خلال فاتورة الهاتف الشهرية، مما يوسّع نطاق الوصول ليشمل شرائح جديدة من المواطنين الذين يمتلكون هواتف ولا يستخدمون الحسابات البنكية أو البطاقات، كما يعزز من سهولة وصول جميع المواطنين إلى الخدمات الحكومية الأساسية في أي وقت وبخطوات بسيطة وسلسة دون الحاجة إلى إجراءات معقدة.
تم توقيع الملحق بين الأستاذ أحمد نبيل – المدير العام لشركة تي باي مصر، والمهندس محمد شمروخ – رئيس الجهاز القومي لتنظيم الاتصالات، في خطوة أساسية لتمكين وتفعيل المدفوعات الحكومية عبر الهاتف المحمول في مصر.
وقال إشيك أومان، الرئيس التنفيذي لمجموعة تي باي: (tpay)
“يمثل هذا التطور نقطة تحول في تمكين الدفع الآمن والسلس للخدمات الحكومية عبر أرقام الهواتف. من خلال هذا الملحق، نضع الأساس لقناة وطنية للدفع الرقمي توسّع نطاق الوصول، وتعزز سهولة الاستخدام، وتدعم الاقتصاد الرقمي المتطوّر في مصر. رسالتنا كموصل للدفع هي تبسيط المعاملات وتقريب الخدمات الأساسية من كل مواطن”.
وتشير بيانات الشمول المالي إلى أن ٧٦.٣٪ من البالغين في مصر يمتلكون حسابات بنكية، بينما تقترب معدلات استخدام الهواتف المحمولة والإنترنت عبر الهاتف في مصر من الانتشار الكامل، مما يبرز فرصة واسعة لتوسيع نطاق المدفوعات الرقمية إلى شرائح أكبر من المواطنين عبر أجهزة الهاتف المحمول.
ويعزّز هذا الترخيص دور شركة تي باي كميسر (Payment Enabler) لخدمات الدفع عبر الهاتف المحمول للخدمات الحكومية في مصر، حيث يوفر مسارًا موثوقًا ومرنًا وقابلًا للتوسع لتحصيل الرسوم الحكومية، ويمهّد الطريق لنمو أكبر مع انتقال المزيد من الخدمات الحكومية إلى كافة القنوات الرقمية.
