Ghali :soon pensioners cashing electronically

Egyptian Minister of Finance Youssef Boutros Ghali

 

By December all e-pension cards will have been processed, Ghali said in a statement.

 

This month, some 160,000 electronic cards have already been handed over to pensioners in Giza and Fayyoum governorates.

 

Updating to e-cards is meant to ease the payment process, taking much of the burden off pensioners, who would otherwise have to queue up outside insurance offices to get paid.
