Egypt's Central Bank denies it ordered banks to prevent all customers from using debit cards on their Egyptian pound accounts when they travel overseas, despite an earlier report by Reuters that contained statements from the Central Bank. According to the Central Bank's Governor Tarek Amer, no changes have been implemented. Instead, a warning was simply sent to banks across Egypt that some people are using debit cards illegally to obtain foreign currency in large sums. The Central Bank's Governor said that banks have policies in place to target such illegal activity and that this recent notice to banks warning them of illegal activity will not change anything when it comes to the use of debit cards overseas for everyday customers.
