Practical points
- For shop payments, the virtual card in Apple Pay is your only option. Some older cards need a free upgrade in the app first. See mobile wallets.
- Google Play: users in Egypt report payments failing when the card’s billing country doesn’t match the Play account’s country. See paying online.
- Paying in pounds adds the 1.2% other-currency fee and the 1% crypto conversion. See fees.
