Egyptian Fintech Fawry Teams Up With Classera To Revolutionise Edtech In Egypt
In order to improve e-payment services and integrate the digital payment solutions of Fawry and Classera Cpay, “Fawry,” the top fintech and financial services provider, and “Classera,” a pioneer in teaching and distant learning technology, entered into a strategic alliance.
According to this agreement, “Fawry” provides Classera customers with all technological solutions and integrated digital payment services via more than 300,000 “Fawry” POS machines, the “myfawry” app, and “FawryPlus” branches spread across all governorates.
