Local payment in Egypt

ABDERAHMAN Mohamed · Jan 12, 2024

When I tried to buy from the Egyptian store, specifically this game https://www.microsoft.com/en-eg/p/c...rl0?wa=wsignin1.0&activetab=pivot:overviewtab Which costs 265 Egyptian pounds using my Visa. The transaction is rejected. I called the bank and they told me that Microsoft is transferring me to an international payment port, not a local one. Egyptian banks prohibit international purchases due to the dollar shortage. Previously, I used to buy without any problems, but after this update, I cannot buy anything from the Egyptian store, and this will affect all Microsoft Store users inside Egypt. Please return the internal payment because international purchases have restrictions in Egypt

Egypt is not a supported Xbox region

attempting to bypass regional restrictions can result in account and hardware bans.

Hi ABDERAHMAN, my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

I understand a little about the problem you are presenting, for this type of problem the best thing I can recommend is to contact support directly. since this has something to do with payments and billing. We cannot solve these types of problems here on the forum since we are only players like you who help each other with basic problems, we are not Microsoft employees.

Support: https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/

If you have any other questions, let me know, I will be attentive to continue helping you.

Perhaps Microsoft does not know that moving the payment gateway outside Egypt will cause a problem for users in Egypt because a month ago, payments were normally made to an Egyptian payment gateway address. There are many countries where Microsoft provides many local payment options, but this is a misunderstanding of the largest market in the Middle East

This is a very disappointing reply and means that users in Egypt do not represent any value to Microsoft. Why doesn't Microsoft restore the local payment gateway inside Egypt? I think it is not a difficult matter because it was working normally before, but the payment gateway was changed to a destination outside Egypt. I do not understand your reply, nor do I understand the reason for what Microsoft did. Does this mean that we must abandon our devices and Microsoft services and move to alternative platforms? This is a loss for Microsoft because Egypt is the largest country in the Middle East

That would be why

You need an Egypt payment method as the erorrs says

Egypt is only a pc expansion region

Not console
