Jerusalem's municipality has launched a digital wallet with fintech firm Paybox to collect taxes and municipal payments, digitalising a previously cash-heavy revenue system.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building payments infrastructure for emerging markets, cities in conflict zones or under fiscal pressure are fast-adopters—they need to digitise revenue collection without waiting for national banking reform. Jerusalem's move proves municipal governments will pay for their own payment rail rather than wait.
