Fawry is preparing to expand its corporate-finance offering after Fawry Consumer Finance received preliminary approval from Egypt's Financial Regulatory Authority to add factoring. EnterpriseAM reported the development in its October 25, 2026 edition, citing a statement issued on Thursday, October 22.

Factoring adds a new financing channel

The planned activity would allow eligible businesses to turn outstanding invoices into liquidity before collection. Fawry Consumer Finance intends to build the service around an MSME loan book exceeding EGP 3.5 billion and the group's merchant relationships, according to EnterpriseAM.

The approval is preliminary rather than a final operating license. The subsidiary still has to amend its articles of association, change its name to reflect the additional activity and submit the required documents to the FRA. No launch timetable, pricing or volume target was announced.

Expansion remains subject to execution

Factoring could broaden Fawry's exposure to business financing beyond payments and consumer finance, but the commercial contribution will depend on licensing, product rollout and demand from smaller companies. The regulatory steps leave the timing of any revenue contribution open.
