# RedotPay in Egypt: virtual card only, Apple Pay and topping up in pounds

RedotPay serves Egypt with an account and a **[virtual card](/en/cards/virtual-vs-physical/)**. Physical cards aren't shipped to Egypt.

## Egypt at a glance

| | Egypt |
|---|---|
| Account | Available |
| Virtual card | Available, 10 USD |
| Physical card | **Not shipped to Egypt** |
| Apple Pay | Available in Egypt, so you can add the virtual card to an iPhone and tap to pay in shops |
| Phone code at sign-up | +20 |
| Topping up with pounds | Only through [P2P](/en/p2p/), if EGP appears in the app's currency list. We couldn't confirm it |
| [ATM](/en/cards/atm-withdrawals/) cash | Not possible without a [physical card](/en/cards/physical-card/) |

## 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](/en/cards/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](/en/cards/pay-online/).
- **Paying in pounds** adds the 1.2% other-currency fee and the 1% crypto conversion. See [fees](/en/fees-limits/).
