Visa Launches Tap-to-Add Card in Egypt For Digital Wallets

Visa has launched Tap-to-Add Card in Egypt, offering a new way for users to add their contactless cards to digital wallets with a tap on their mobile devices. By eliminating manual data entry, the feature aims to enhance both security and convenience, reducing errors and preventing fraud. Once tapped, the card is added using a unique one-time code verified by Visa’s authentication system.

The feature is designed to streamline the user experience, making digital payments faster and more accessible. Banks and issuers are also expected to benefit, as Tap-to-Add Card is designed to help reduce provisioning fraud, lower customer service inquiries, and increase transaction approval rates.

Visa’s expansion in Egypt follows the country’s broader push for digital financial inclusion. As Egypt moves toward becoming a cashless economy, digital payments have surged, with major financial institutions adopting new technologies to support the transition.
