Debit and Pre-Paid Cards International Payments should be enabled AGAIN


Debit and Pre-Paid Cards International Payments should be enabled AGAIN
The Issue
The Central Bank Of Egypt (CBE) has stopped the Egyptian Pre-Paid and Debit cards from international payments in Egyptian and Foreign currencies. This petition is to prove how many people really need this back.
- This petition has no intention to show any disrespect to the decisions of the CBE.
- This petition is only made for people who uses this type of transactions in their daily life for legal causes only.
By signing this petition you should be aware of:
- There is a great shortage of foreign currencies in Egypt.
- Things are getting better but we are not the people who were misusing the international payments using these cards.
- We are seeking a new system that requires people to prove that they won't use the cards in a wrong way.
We seek to allow people to have the freedom of paying for whatever they want and whatever they need. At the same time they should assign a limit for every user to maintain a stable paying environment and not have the risk of being disabled again.
Current Limitations (Last Updated August 2025):
- Credit Cards: International Transactions are allowed online and abroad with some limitations
- Debit Cards: Cannot be used internationally to pay in foreign or local currency
- Prepaid Cards: Cannot be used internationally to pay in foreign or local currency
