We are on a mission to help raise a new generation of financially savvy Africans by introducing trendy and attractive lifestyle banking solutions that give us all an advantage over conventional banks in the cashless payments space.
Copal was created based on the pain points that all Egyptian parents are experiencing nowadays from challenges in trasferring instant money to their kids, online purchasing, and tracking & monitoring their kids’ spending. Such hardships stemmed from the lack of bank services specifically designed for more than 20 million children under age of 16.
Based on an average monthly expenditure of EGP 500, these families generate an annual trx of $4 billion and an annual GDV of $8 billion.
Copal is entering the Egyptian market through our unique product “Copal prepaid card + mobile app” and strategic partnerships with MasterCard, CIB “Commercial International Bank,” and the card processor MDP “Masria digital payments.”

Wholesalers App and Closed Loop POS:
This module of the application was the most challenging for us to develop because not only did we focus on delivering the customer experience that appealed to the wholesaler, but also we needed the module to support our sharia-compliant offering.

Further, the application grants merchants the ability to perform merchandise purchases seamlessly manner and choose the payment plan that suits them in addition to keeping track of all purchase records and bills along with notifying them of upcoming payment dues, overall credit limit, and rates of consumption.
Alternative Credit Assessment engine:
We focused on building our system from outside to inside, so instead of approaching merchants with the traditional credit scoring playbook, we conducted broad market research by which we reached an understanding of the set of information and documents that the merchants already have and are comfortable sharing and build our scoring system accordingly by the identifying the available common factors and setting a weight of each of those factors so instead of refusing to grant you credit for lack of history we enable you a controlled amount that you get to develop by building your history with us.
