Poste Tunisienne, the Tunisian postal service, reported 4 million 713 thousand savers as of September 2026, with a contribution to the national savings estimated at around 25%. This data was presented during the celebration of World Post Day, which took place on October 9. The event was held in Gammarth under the theme "La Poste Tunisienne, l'intelligence artificielle au service de l'inclusion et de la durabilité" (The Tunisian Post, artificial intelligence at the service of inclusion and sustainability).
The celebration is part of Poste Tunisienne's strategic plan for 2026-2030, focusing on strengthening financial, social, and economic inclusion, supporting digital transformation, and leveraging artificial intelligence in financial and postal domains. The plan also aims to develop e-commerce, adopt the "Poste verte" project to reduce energy consumption, and promote sustainable development. Furthermore, the plan seeks to enhance the capabilities of human resources.
As part of its efforts to improve financial services, Poste Tunisienne has started replacing and installing 200 automated teller machines (ATMs) across different regions of Tunisia. By the end of 2026, the number of ATMs is expected to reach approximately 800. This initiative aims to increase access to financial services and improve the overall banking experience for customers.
Poste Tunisienne has also made significant progress in facilitating university enrollment through electronic payment means. As of September 2026, around 287,300 students, or nearly 76% of the total number of students, have successfully enrolled in universities using electronic payment methods. This achievement demonstrates the company's ability to provide convenient and efficient services to its customers.
Despite its achievements, Poste Tunisienne's financial performance and transparency have raised concerns. The company's website does not provide up-to-date information on its financial statements, making it difficult to assess its profitability or management of customer funds. The only available financial data is a revenue figure of 616.4 MDT, which dates back to 2022.
The lack of transparency and outdated financial information has sparked concerns about Poste Tunisienne's accountability and governance. As a public company managing Tunisian citizens' savings, it is essential for Poste Tunisienne to provide regular and accurate financial updates to maintain public trust and confidence.
Moving forward, Poste Tunisienne aims to continue improving its services and expanding its reach. With a focus on digital transformation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction, the company is well-positioned to play a vital role in Tunisia's economic development. As the company celebrates World Post Day, it reaffirms its commitment to providing innovative and inclusive services to its customers.
