Cairo, Egypt; 7 April 2025:

Mastercard announced a strategic collaboration with PayTabs Group to facilitate digital payment solutions for small and medium enterprises in Egypt.

Through this collaboration, PayTabs will leverage Mastercard’s global network and digital payments capabilities to provide merchants with a while-labelled digital payments platform. This solution is designed to elevate payment acceptance capabilities for small and medium enterprises, driving the widespread adoption of contactless payments while accelerating the country’s digital transformation agenda.

The platform will equip small businesses with fast, secure, and cost-effective customizable solutions for accepting digital payments. With its streamlined user interface, merchants can quickly generate payment links, significantly cutting down the time and effort needed compared to manual processes. Seamlessly integrating into existing business workflows, it boosts efficiency while offering additional features like QR codes and enhancing the overall digital experience.

The platform also provides a seamless payment experience, particularly for mobile users. Payment links enable convenient transactions, allowing customers to complete payments swiftly and securely. By improving cash flow management and reducing dependence on cash, the platform helps integrate more businesses and customers into the formal financial system.
