The Family Card Project

In 2009, X InfoTech joined in a project on a subcontractor basis with Masria card: „The Family Card Project”, organized by the Government of Egypt.

The second and third phases of this project were based on 7 million smart cards issued to families subsidized by the government of Egypt, and 15 000 POS/acceptance terminals distributed throughout the country, as well as on the transaction processing system for card transactions. 

In a strictly limited time, X InfoTech provided Masria Card with a complete personalization solution with laser engraving printing, chip encoding, colour print and dedicated personalization software, as well personalization scripts and cryptographic infrastructure development. Also, X InfoTech was deeply involved in chip application adjustment, in cooperation with the chip application supplier as a tandem technical team.

„X InfoTech has a proven high level of competence, skills, and knowledge in the smart card industry, as well as a constructive approach during the „Family Card project” implementation in Egypt, which helped 

Masria Card to complete the project professionally and within the agreed timing. We highly value the responsibilities, quality of work, and experience of X InfoTech employees in this smart card related project and recommend them as a good partner.” – said the Masria Card’s chairman of the board, Mr. Amr Rashad.

The Family Card scheme was designed to control the distribution of subsidized goods (such as rice and sugar) to eligible families. The solution consisting of cards, point of sale units and the related applications designed by Masria Card, have been rolled out throughout the entire country to ensure access to subsidies in both rural and urban areas.
