Gov’t to launch debit card Meeza in 2Q2019

The government aims to launch its “Meeza” debit card in 2Q2019, beginning with subsidy payments, CIT Minister Amr Talaat told Masrawy. The government plans for Meeza to act as a single platform through which citizens would be able to access all government services amid plans to push for financial inclusion and a cashless economy. Pensioners, civil servants and subsidy recipients will be among the first groups to access the service.
