As Egypt is setting pace towards digital transformation, led by the Egyptian government, business sectors in Egypt are racing towards establishing themselves as the first providers of digital consumer-centric solutions to make way for a new era for Egyptians who are now more keen and open to digitization than any time before.
There are 92.71 million smartphone users in Egypt (representing 91% of total population), 54.74% of them are internet users (54% of the total population) – and 42 million of these internet users are active on social media (41% of the total population). (Source: Hootsuite’s Digital 2020 Report)
Contact, the first and biggest corporation that established the consumer credit concept since 2001 implemented this idea as part of its commitment to both existing and new clients in Egypt.
Capitalizing on the Egyptian government’s direction of digital transformation, Contact launched a bilingual e-payment mobile app that sheds off the old ways of doing things, announcing a new era of consumer support and dedication, which falls into Contact’s vision of “digitally transforming” the consumer credit market to become easier and more accessible for clients with a consumer-centric approach that meets all requirements and needs of different social segments in Egypt.
The company has eight innovative products that tackle the needs of both individual and corporate clients and launched a massive rebranding campaign with a new website dedicated to help consumers understand what each product is aimed for and how it can add value to many of Egypt’s middle-class citizens who are trying to allocate their income in the best way possible.
