Egypt's Suez Canal Bank has revealed details of its new Meeza debit card, designed to offer secure and protected banking services to all Egyptians.

The Meeza direct debit card is linked to a current or savings account, allowing customers easy management, cash withdrawals and other banking transactions.

The Meeza card is part of Suez Canal Bank's efforts to support the Egyptian government's drive towards financial inclusion and a less cash-reliant society.

It provides a range of benefits to cardholders, including acceptance at over 88,000 local merchants via point-of-sale terminals, as well as more than 13,000 ATMs across Egypt. The card is also accepted for online purchases made within the country.

Available to any customer holding a national ID card, the Meeza card is issued to facilitate salary transfers for government agency and company employees, regardless of the amount of their salaries.

This smart solution is one of the alternatives available to facilitate salary payments for public institutions and corporations, as well as company staff. The card is also accepted for payment of government fees in the Arab Republic of Egypt.

The Meeza card offers a free SMS notification service with any cash withdrawal, purchase or online transaction to help cardholders monitor their account activities in real time.

The card uses both smart chip and contactless technologies to provide the highest levels of security. It also offers a secure and convenient alternative to cash transactions.

Suez Canal Bank's launch of the Meeza debit card is a positive development for Egypt's financial inclusion drive.

The bank is committed to supporting the government's efforts towards a more inclusive and cashless society, providing accessible and secure banking services to all Egyptians.
