Vending in Egypt
Running vending machines in Egypt
Egypt’s payments are moving quickly from cash to Meeza cards, InstaPay and mobile wallets. Operators register with the National Food Safety Authority, issue e-receipts to the Tax Authority and plan for currency swings in import costs.
How people pay in Egypt
Cash is still common, but cards, wallets and InstaPay are growing fast in Cairo and Alexandria.
- Meeza
- The national debit card scheme, including contactless.
- Mobile wallets
- Vodafone Cash and other operator wallets.
- InstaPay and Fawry
- Instant bank transfers and the Fawry payment network.
- Visa and Mastercard
- For offices, hotels and airports.
Licences and rules
- Company setup
- Register the company through GAFI and with the tax authority.
- Food safety
- The National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) regulates food handling, storage and labelling.
- VAT and e-receipts
- VAT is 14%, and retail sales are moving onto the Egyptian Tax Authority’s e-receipt system.
- Imports
- Machinery imports need customs clearance and importer registration.
Pricing and tax
Egyptian projects are budgeted in EGP, with the machine priced in a foreign currency and converted at order.
- Lock the exchange rate at order where possible; the pound has moved a lot in recent years.
- Landed cost includes freight, customs duty and 14% VAT.
- Pilot in Cairo offices or universities before scaling.
On the ground
