Electronic payments made by merchants and via e-commerce have increased by 20% both in the number of transactions and in the total amount, according to Bilel Darnaoui, the CEO of the Tunisian Payments Company “Monétique Tunisie.”
He added on Diwan FM that the market has adapted to the new check-related system and that Tunisians are now more inclined to pay by card and e-wallet. However, despite this progress, we are still far from reaching our goals.
Darnaoui emphasized the need to adapt legislation to these developments and to improve financial education in order to combat financial exclusion, given that a large portion of the Tunisian population remains outside the financial system.
