“ MDP transitioned to a payments ’ infrastructure powerhouse , combining the world of card issuing and processing with advanced APIs that allow card issuers to launch their products seamlessly .”
The MDP journey is a fascinating one , and a classic example of how a business pivots to survive and thrive – something we all became familiar with during the pandemic but a situation MDP faced back in 2011 during Egypt ’ s revolution .
At the time , MDP had been enjoying success working with the government producing smart cards for public transport , but the revolution changed the economic landscape .
“ When the revolution happened , we saw one area of business that was unaffected , which was financial services ,” recalls Nafie . “ People still needed financial services , so in 2011 we started focusing on the banks .”
“ WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL ABOUT MDP IS HOW FLEXIBLE , AGILE AND CUSTOMER-CENTRIC WE ARE . PAYMENT PROCESSORS HAVE TRADITIONALLY BEEN INFLEXIBLE , THEY ARE ANTI-CHANGE ”
