Egypt Post, headed by Sherif Farouk, agreed to offer a new savings vessel with quarterly and monthly returns.
Farouk said the step comes within the framework of Egypt Post’s endeavour to provide the best financial services to citizens. This is the first time this vessel is offered by Egypt Post, and is a great addition to the authority’s financial services, besides its regular annual-return saving vessels. The interest rate for a monthly-return savings vessel is 6% and 6.25% for the quarterly savings vessel.
Egypt Post’s board of directors meeting reviewed the security system to secure customers’ financial transactions on their accounts through the “OTP” feature. The service involves sending customers text messages to state that a purchase made online or through a point of sale is completed. This feature helps customers be instantly updated about their account and the purchases made on their cards. In addition, customers are sent text messages right after a withdrawal, depositing, or a transfer is made on their accounts.
The board of directors also approved the organizational levels for the compliance structure and combating money laundering and terrorist financing, in line with the policies of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and the state’s fiscal policies that aim to achieve the highest level of transparency and adherence to the regulations, rules and guidelines to detect money laundering and terrorist financing operations.
