Fawry, Egypt’s top e-payments provider, has announced that its proprietary Soft POS solution, ‘Tap N Pay,’ has completed the MPOC certification, making it the first MENA company to secure both CPOC and MPOC certifications and only the 10th worldwide to achieve MPOC, Invest-Gate reports.

Fawry developed ‘Tap N Pay’ entirely in-house, holding full copyright ownership, establishing it as the first fully Egyptian-built Soft POS solution.

This dual certification reinforces Fawry’s commitment to secure, compliant, contactless payments in the MENA region, promoting greater trust among merchants and customers.

Moreover, with both certifications, Fawry is now set to expand the deployment of secure mobile point-of-sale solutions across various sectors, enhancing customer acquisition and strengthening financial partnerships.

The Soft POS technology also allows Fawry to broaden its e-commerce and service offerings, integrating payment solutions within the transportation, logistics, and maintenance sectors.

Furthermore, this allows these industries to benefit from seamless, mobile-enabled transactions.

Ashraf Sabry, Fawry’s CEO, expressed pride in the company’s technical achievements, saying, “Being the first MENA company with a fully in-house Soft POS solution to gain MPOC and CPOC certification reflects Fawry’s commitment to high standards and our belief in local talent.”

“The locally built product offers us competitive pricing over international solutions,” Sabry added.

Notably, the PCI Security Standards Council awarded the CPOC and MPOC certifications, which underscore Fawry’s adherence to global procurement and payment security standards and further cement its leadership in the region’s digital payments landscape.
