just check...may be its closed down...

Answer 2

There is only Citibank, but it really doesn't matter for so long as your card, whether its a credit or a debit card has VISA access on it, you will be able to be used at any ATM or bank in Egypt.

Most cards especially those associated with a bank have the VISA access these days.

I used my Australian ATM card for quite a few years when I first came to Egypt . Never did I have any problems accessing funds from the machines or the banks themselves. I would suggest you only use the ATMs located outside the bank,then if your card gets "eaten",you can get it back immediately.

But a quick phone call to your bank will let you know exactly what you can and cant do with your card in Egypt.

But there are certainly no shortages of banks where you can access cash.

Answer 3

Currently there is only Citibank.....

There was Bank of America but it closed down its operation back in 1995.

As for American Express Bank, I think they are not in the commercial banking sector anymore, but rather they offer card services, here is a link with their info:
