SuperPay has a capital of EGP 500m, with Etisalat Egypt by e& holding the majority stake and Banque Misr holding a minority share.
Tarek Nagi, the CEO of SuperPay, said that the company’s goal is to capture 10% of the e-payment market in Egypt as a first step. He also said that the company intends to deploy 190,000 machines across various governorates within 5 years.
Hazem Metwally, CEO and Managing Director of Etisalat Egypt by e&, said that the launch of SuperPay is the result of two years of planning and cooperation with Banque Misr. He added that Etisalat Egypt by e& strives to provide its customers with a complete technological platform that meets their needs and expectations, either through partnerships or the launch of new companies like SuperPay.
Metwally also expressed his optimism about the potential of the e-payment market in Egypt, which has witnessed remarkable growth rates of up to 100%. He said that Egypt still has a lot of room for further development and expansion in this field.
