The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

We can’t deny that bank cards have made our lives easier – imagine having to walk around with a briefcase full of banknotes to do some shopping at the mall, or worse, travel. However, one can’t help but feel a little baffled with our bulging wallets, full of cards, cash, receipts, and God knows what else.

Luckily, renowned bank Emirates NBD Egypt and Mastercard have come up with a solution that will reduce the number of cards in your wallet. Introducing the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa, Mastercard’s World Switch Card gathers both your credit and debit cards into one. Not only does it connect the two accounts, it also allows you to switch between the two with a simple push of a button.

Emirates NBD Egypt’s Mastercard World Switch Card comes with a long list of benefits and privileges, including a range of concierge, travel, and lifestyle services, various insurance programmes – like Marhaba that gives you access to various VIP lounges at numerous international airports across the globe, in addition to a list of exclusive services at Dubai International Airport.

“Mastercard is committed to bringing the latest payment innovations to Egypt, enabling the country’s transition towards a digital economy.” Mohammed Assem, Mastercard Egypt’s Country Manager.

Emirates NBD Egypt and Mastercard celebrated the launch of Mastercard World Switch Card on the 19^th of November, with a ceremony that gathered a host of guests, including major clients, various public figures, as well as delegates from both companies.

Mohamed Zakout, Head of Retail, Emirates NBD Egypt, who was present at the event, stated: “We are not only committed to providing the most technologically innovative banking solutions for our customers, but in upholding our position as market leaders in the industry.”

In addition to the perks of not having to carry too many cards around, think of all the countless benefits that come with Emirates NBD Egypt’s Mastercard World Switch Card.
