Mastercard is expanding its reach in the Egyptian prepaid cards market

With the increasing Covid measures, various companies are reshaping the business by integrating technology. The trend propelled various partnerships to emerge in the country to capture market share. For instance,

• In May 2021, Mastercard partnered with Egypt-based payment app Telda to launch prepaid cards in the country.
• The users will be able to access various app features, such as sending and receiving money through the app and the digital card, without any bank account.
