PROSPECTS

Outlook for charge cards remains bleak

High interest rates and limited accessibility will continue to undermine the development of charge cards in Egypt over the forecast period. The potential consumer base for these products in the country is negligible due to strict requirements on minimum income in US dollars.

Economic uncertainty further restricts appeal of charge cards

During the latter half of the review period, the underlying problems faced by charge cards in Egypt were compounded by economic challenges. For example, in 2016 Egyptian banks limited the use of charge cards outside the country to cope with foreign currency shortages.

Islamic banking could provide opportunities for charge cards

The fact that Islam is the dominant religion among the Egyptian population could offer potential expansion opportunities for charge cards. Many Muslims have reservations about using credit cards, as the payment of interest on transactions contravenes Shariah law.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

American Express remains the sole charge card operator in Egypt

American Express remained the only charge card operator in Egypt in 2017. However, its overall volume and value shares in Egyptian financial cards continued to fall as credit cards offering more attractive rates and benefits gained popularity at the expense of charge cards.

American Express adjusts its competitive strategy

The main users of American Express charge cards are more affluent Egyptians and inbound tourists who stay at upmarket hotels. The operator actively targets these consumers with products like the American Express Platinum Card, which offers travel benefits such as exclusive discounts on tickets from 14 leading airlines.
