Jumia, the National Bank of Egypt join forces for payment services

Wednesday 11 August 2021 11:55 CET | News

Ecommerce platform Jumia has partnered with the National Bank of Egypt (NBE), to offer some financial services via its payment channel and business line, JumiaPay. 

Techpoint.Africa reports that the partnership comes after the NBE obtained an approval-in-principle from The Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) to engage JumiaPay in processing off-the-platform payments for third-party merchants on the Jumia ecommerce marketplace in Egypt.

As a result, some services are now licenced on the JumiaPay business line for Egyptians; these include PSP, payment facilitator (PayFac), and payment aggregator (PA). The licences will allow for ease of online banking, a medium for merchants to integrate several payment modes, and enable the onboarding process of customers for electronic payments on the platform.
