Question 1

How can you send money to Egypt?

Accepted Answer

You can send money via TapTap Send to Egypt to 38 banks, and wallets, or opt for cash pickup services via trusted partners like FawryPlus (in EGP only) or Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) (in EGP or USD). For cash pickup transactions, the recipient needs to be able to prove a relationship with the sender or a clear purpose for the transaction backed by evidence.
