“Egyptian bank restrictions made it impossible to pay for international tools. My debit card was completely blocked for foreign transactions. Halocard gave me a US credit card that just works — no CBE limits, no hassle.”

Why Egyptians need Halocard for international payments
Real Visa credit cards issued from the USA
The Central Bank of Egypt has banned debit cards for foreign currency transactions entirely, and credit card USD limits can be as low as $250/month. Halocard gives you US-issued Visa credit cards with no local banking restrictions.
More virtual cards for every purchase
Create dedicated cards for SaaS subscriptions, freelance tools, and international services. Isolate costs and prevent billing surprises.
US billing address included
Every card comes with a US billing address (or choose to nominate your own) which is essential to access US-only services and pass address verification checks.
Independent of Egyptian bank restrictions
Halocard operates outside the Egyptian banking system. No CBE foreign currency limits, no blocked transactions, no dependence on local dollar liquidity.
Why can't Egyptian cards pay US merchants?
In October 2023, the Central Bank of Egypt banned debit cards for all foreign currency transactions. Credit cards have monthly USD limits as low as $250 at major banks like HSBC Egypt. Strict FX controls, declining Suez Canal revenues, and high external debt have created severe dollar liquidity constraints. Halocard bypasses all of this with US-issued Visa credit cards.
$250/mo
Foreign currency limit on credit cards at major Egyptian banks (HSBC Egypt). Debit cards are banned entirely for foreign transactions.
