ProZ*Pay works with many payees in Egypt. Some are recognizing challenges with receiving money via PayPal recently.

Do you have any advice to share with others? Is there something more ProZ*Pay should be doing for Egypt?

This is what we are seeing (thanks to Isabella for chasing these links)...

PayPal help center reads: "To receive payments with PayPal, choose a Visa card issued in Egypt or a bank account in the U.S. to link to your PayPal account."

Also a Reddit thread from several months ago discusses the challenge: https://www.reddit.com/r/Egypt/comments/znd53c/paypal_in_egypt/

The ProZ*Pay team would like to help more people. If there are suggestions you have to add to this, let us know.

Easy pay/ Yalla pay cards Jun 29, 2023

Hello Mike,

There are two types of cards are issued by the post office in Egypt.

Translators can buy any of these cards from the post office, then charge them with a very small amount of money; about $4 or $5.

The next step, they can link this card with their account on Paypal and it will work with no issues.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Dalia
