Aurionpro partners with Mastercard to implement Automated Fare Collection system for Egypt's public transport network
Aurionpro Solutions Ltd. has secured a major contract to implement an Automated Fare Collection (AFC) system for Egypt's public transport sector. This strategic win marks a significant milestone in the company's expansion across the Middle East and Africa region.
The project will be delivered by Aurionpro Transit Pte Ltd, the company's dedicated mobility division, in partnership with Mastercard. The collaboration aims to create a modern, seamless, and fully digital fare payment experience that aligns with Egypt's Vision 2030 for a cashless, connected economy.
Under the agreement, Aurionpro will lead the end-to-end deployment of advanced fare collection technologies, including mobile data terminals (MDTs) and contactless validators, integrated with Mastercard Payment Gateway Services. This open-loop solution will allow commuters to pay fares using debit or credit cards, eliminating the need for cash.
The initiative stems from a tri-party partnership between Mastercard, National Bank of Egypt, and Mwasalat Misr Group—a leading mass transit operator in Egypt. The collaboration aims to digitize payments across Mwasalat Misr's entire fleet, enabling riders to book and pay in real time, both onboard and via digital platforms.
Historically, Egypt's public transport system has relied heavily on cash payments, creating barriers to financial inclusion. The new AFC system will introduce a secure, efficient, and convenient fare payment process, supporting broader goals of digital transformation in the country's transit ecosystem.
This project reinforces Aurionpro's position as a global provider of advanced mobility solutions and highlights its growing influence in international smart city and transport infrastructure developments.
