Fawry is available at every street in all of Egypt governorates."

He added that the selection of Fawry was due to the persity of its service and payment methods as it allows parents and students to pay fees in more than 105 thousand outlets; and through all bank wallets, mobile phone companies and "MyFawry" application, meaning the suitability of payment methods for everyone.

He concluded, the payment through Fawry is available to more than 20 million students in 50,000 schools.
