The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority has launched an updated electronic system for the Egyptian Movable Collateral Registry, operated directly by the authority in cooperation with e-Finance, to enable banks, financial institutions, companies and individual investors to use movable assets as collateral to obtain financing. The platform allows electronic registration, amendment and cancellation of security notices and electronic creditor notification on a 24/7 basis without human intervention. Key changes include enabling individuals to be added as creditor entities so they can access the legal protections tied to registering security rights on movables. The updated system also supports interoperability with other platforms through a unified digital identity and single sign-on, links to the e-invoicing system, and introduces multiple payment channels including bank cards via the government payment gateway, virtual cards for electronic wallets, financial wallets and remote bank transfers, with future support for banks’ digital applications. The authority also highlighted enhanced data security, interactive reporting for users and supervisors, and a fully digital end-to-end creditor onboarding process, with the registry aimed at widening access to finance for small, medium and micro enterprises using assets such as equipment, machinery, inventory and intellectual property without transferring possession.
