Egypt's Premier Payment Security Conference
Following the outstanding success of its inaugural edition, the Payment Security Summit (PSS) Egypt returns in 2026 as the country’s leading fintech conference dedicated to payment security, cyber resilience and Payment Card Industry best practices.
As Egypt accelerates towards a digital-first economy, organisations across banking, fintech, retail and government are facing new challenges in securing payment ecosystems. The rapid growth of digital payments, mobile commerce and connected financial services has made online payment security, digital wallet security, fraud prevention and PCI compliance standards strategic priorities for every organisation handling payment data.
PSS Egypt 2026 will bring together regulators, financial institutions, fintech innovators, payment providers, merchants, cybersecurity professionals and technology leaders to explore the latest developments in payment protection, fraud prevention, AI-powered cyber threats, compliance and digital trust.
More than a conference, PSS Egypt is where the region’s payment ecosystem collaborates to build the future of secure digital commerce.
Organised in collaboration with the Payment Security Standards Council, the summit will welcome more than 150 senior executives and industry experts responsible for cyber security, information technology, governance, risk, compliance and payment operations.
