Swypex Launches Egypt’s First Approval-Based Card, Redefining How Businesses Control Spend

Cairo, Egypt – June 18, 2025:

Swypex, Egypt’s all-in-one financial management platform, has unveiled the country’s first Approval-Based Limits Card, an innovative product designed to modernize how companies manage spending.

Available exclusively through the new Swypex Premium subscription, the card introduces dynamic spend limits that unlock only after transactions are reviewed and approved, which gives finance teams real-time visibility and precise control.

Mimicking the operational dynamics of petty cash management, the Approval-Based Limits Card acts like a rotating balance, ensuring that no employee’s spending exceeds what’s been approved. This approach replaces fragmented, manual processes with an automated, policy-enforced financial governance system that drives operational efficiency.

“Egyptian businesses want control without friction, and this card gives them exactly that,” said Ahmad Mokhtar, Co-Founder and CEO of Swypex. “Approval-Based Limit Cards bring a new standard of precision and agility to business finance. It’s the bridge between old-world cash management and seamless, secure corporate spending. This card empowers companies to shift from chasing expenses to controlling them with clarity, speed, and confidence,” he added.

Swypex’s launch comes as Egypt undergoes a rapid transformation in its financial infrastructure. While more than 74% of adults are now financially included and mobile wallet adoption continues to grow, 94% of business payments remain undigitized, leaving businesses exposed to risk and inefficiency. Swypex is addressing these challenges with local-first solutions that meet global fintech standards.

The Approval-Based Limits Card is part of Swypex Premium, which helps businesses unlock their full potential with the most comprehensive financial management platform in the market. The subscription also includes unlimited cashback, dynamic spend controls, and custom approval workflows.

“We build products that specifically cater to the needs of the local market while pushing boundaries and spearheading innovation in the region,” said Tarek Mokhtar, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer. “From fast-growing SMEs to complex enterprises, Egyptian businesses need financial infrastructure that’s powerful, simple, and scalable. That’s why we designed Swypex Premium as more than just a tool, but rather a comprehensive financial operating system. With advanced spend controls and approval workflows developed to integrate with existing financial processes, we’re not just digitising finance; we’re fundamentally reshaping how it works in Egypt’s evolving economic landscape,” he added.

Backed by a $4 million seed round led by Accel, the VC firm’s first fintech investment in MENA, and licensed by the Central Bank of Egypt, Swypex is setting a new benchmark for how businesses handle finance. Its all-in-one platform consolidates payments, invoice management, smart corporate cards, and financial workflows into a unified, intuitive system designed to scale with growing companies. Opening an account takes just three minutes.
