Hello everyone,

Once youre settled in Egypt, you will need to make some basic purchases, like groceries or pay bills. Hence, it is essential to know the payment methods available in your host country.

Which are the most common payment methods in Egypt? Why would you prefer some forms over others?

Does the amount of money or the type of paid services (groceries, bills, rent, etc.) determine the choice of payment methods?

Are there any apps at your disposal which make the payment process easier in Egypt?

Can certain foreign currencies be used to make payments?

Have your habits in terms of payment methods changed since moving to Egypt?

Thanks for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

Many electronic payments are now available as well beside cash and credit cards. FAWRY, MOBILE CASH, and many others. Otlob is a great application to order food and groceries. Almost anything in Egypt can be delivered to your doorstep which is a huge luxury. Tons of applications to make things easier than ever and accessible to those who prefer not to make the trip to the store or to the market.
