Fawry announces launch of traffic fine payment service

Fawry, Egypt’s leading nationwide Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) platform, announced today its launch of a new payment service that will enable customers to pay their traffic fines directly via the Fawry network of payment channels. The new service, which is made possible by an agreement signed with the Public Prosecution, marks yet another innovative way that Egypt’s EBPP leader is making convenient and efficient payment services readily available to government bodies and the public.

The service, which will initially be launched in the Cairo and Giza governorates and gradually be rolled out nationwide, works as follows: owners of all vehicle types – private cars, taxis, trucks, and motorcycles – use their national ID to inquire about pending fines and are subsequently provided with their name, the vehicle licence plate number, the number of fines and the total value that needs to be paid, which they can in turn pay directly through the Fawry channels. Once the customer has successfully completed their payment, the General Prosecutor’s system will be updated to reflect that the payment has been made, and the fine certificate will be printed, delivered to the relevant traffic unit and attached to the driver’s file within three days of payment completion.
