Building on the success of our previous partnership with Basata, Vodafone is raising its stake to 20% after receiving the necessary approvals as we expect this partnership to support both Vodafone’s and Egypt’s mutual vision in achieving financial inclusion, ensuring the access of e-payments services to all segments.”
Eid added: “With our established experience in this field for years and our customer base exceeding 45 million customers, we are ready to fully support our partners to advance the e-payment sector and contribute to creating a supportive ecosystem that enhances the concept of financial inclusion, providing our customers with an all-inclusive, top-notch e-payment experience.”
