TL;DR
Based on recent chat posts, travelers in Hurghada are often offered remote international bank card setup through an intermediary, usually with online payments, overseas purchases, worldwide cash withdrawals, and a Russian-language app. No bank names, fees, or office addresses were shared publicly; details were only provided privately.
The newest mention says remote international card setup is still being offered to people in Hurghada without an office visit. The listed features are online payments, spending abroad, cash withdrawals, and a Russian-language app, but the bank name and fees were not disclosed.
Another post from the same day describes a broader package: besides payments and ATM withdrawals, it mentions international transfers and post-setup support. The available transfer routes and currencies were said to require separate confirmation.
Two days earlier, the same kind of remote card service was promoted again for worldwide use. The practical takeaway for travelers is that it is marketed as an option for people who need a card for trips and cash access outside Egypt.
Three days earlier, the offer was repeated with an extra bonus: after setup, users were promised access to a private information channel with updates and tips. That may be useful for guidance, but it does not replace checking fees and conditions yourself.
A post from four days before the latest one again listed the core functions: online payments, spending abroad, and ATM cash access. No setup timeline or pricing was given publicly, so it is impossible to judge the value without asking privately.
A separate discussion from the same period mentioned that regular accounts and debit cards may be blocked for some users, while a credit card can remain a workaround. For travelers, this is a reminder to check the card type, not just whether it works internationally.
