Fawry achieves payment card security PCI-DSS certification for 9th year in a row

Fawry, the leading provider of banking technology and electronic payments, has announced that it obtained the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Compliance Certificate for the ninth consecutive year. The achievement reflects the company’s endless quest to bolster its security posture and enhance the safety of its customer transactions and payment system.

The PCI-DSS certification comes as an outcome of Fawry’s persistent efforts, fruitful cooperation and hard work to guarantee an ultimate level of security and protection for customer data across all services, especially that such a certification is stipulated by the Payment Card Industry Council.  The PCI DSS Compliance Certificate requires a set of data security and control protocols to safeguard the security of cardholder sensitive data and prevent fraud risks.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Compliance Certificate is designed to prevent fraudulent and theft incidents, thus boosting the customer and user confidence.  The certification helps the company keep its leading status in the Egyptian market and continue to provide various premium services and experiences for customers, which makes Fawry the preferred fintech company by a large segment of the Egyptian society.

Fawry is always keen to play a role in supporting and promoting the financial inclusion, keep pace with developments in the technological banking services, and upgrade and facilitate communication for millions of banked and unbanked users nationwide.  In doing so, the company is taking part in driving the transformation into a digital society and spreading the cashless payment culture. The certification was awarded by an independent PCI-DSS Compliance Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), ControlCase, which performed the certification audit against the latest PCI DSS v3.2.1.
