Egypt Mandates Electronic Invoice Verification for Factoring Finance Under New FRA Regulations

  • Egypt’s Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) now requires factoring companies to verify invoices through a unified electronic system before granting finance.
  • The digital factoring system, launched in February in partnership with e-finance, aims to prevent double financing, enhance transparency, and improve sector efficiency.
  • The system allows electronic enquiries and “freezing” of invoices, integrating with government entities like the Ministry of Finance and the Egyptian Tax Authority.
  • Factoring companies must include contract clauses confirming registration of security rights in the Movable Collateral Registry, as per Law No. 115 of 2015.
  • The next phase will fully digitize the factoring process, streamlining procedures and reducing costs; the decision takes effect the day after publication.
