Banks are currently expanding the launch of prepaid cards, especially the Meeza card, the first Egyptian-branded card, to automate payments as a safe and clean way to prevent the emerging corona virus, and to reduce the circulation of cash as bank notes are a type of virus carrier.

Meeza cards enable their holders to freely withdraw cash from their balances through the local ATM network, and enable their holders to make government payments electronically, in addition to making purchases available through a wide network of various merchants who have electronic points of sale (POS).

The Meeza card is not used for purchases or withdrawals outside Egypt, as it is limited to local transactions only.
