The Deets
The bank is currently making necessary preparations in order to join the instant payment network. This is a big step in the digital transformation of banks in Egypt.
Most banks in Egypt are in the process of joining the network. However, they recently pushed back the join date in order to better prepare to join. The instant payment network acts as the first real application in open banking in Egypt.
