Egypt Post offers ATM cards with no minimum charge

CAIRO – 22 February 2018: Egypt Post’s Board Chairman Essam al-Saghir said Wednesday that Egypt Post launched an ATM service for citizens with no minimum charges, adding that an ATM card could be issued with a balance of LE 10 ($0.57).

Saghir added that this service allows online purchasing inside or outside Egypt, referring that it can be used through any bank’s ATMs.

The chairman told Egypt Today that citizens can get the ATM card from any post office for LE 25 with their national IDs.

Egypt Post has around 400,000 branches in Egypt with 24 million customers.

On October 2017, Egypt Post decided to supersede postal savings books with ATMs in post offices in all governorates nationwide as of October.

Such a decision has been taken after the success of the experimental process held in Cairo and Giza post offices in August.
