Our take 2.5

2.5 Banky rating

Pros

  • Generous grace period: The card offers a grace period of up to 55 days on purchases, allowing you to settle your balance without incurring interest.
  • Payment flexibility: You can pay a minimum of just 5% of the total outstanding balance each month.
  • Pay for purchases in installments of up to 12 months, interest-free, at a very wide network of merchants partnered with Al Ahli Bank.
  • Ahly Points

Cons

  • Low credit limit: The card's maximum credit limit is 9,999 EGP, making it unsuitable for large purchases or booking expensive trips and services.
  • The interest rate is 3.50% per month on purchases and cash withdrawals (for both secured cards—backed by certificates or deposits—and unsecured cards).
  • Interest (3.50% monthly) on cash withdrawals from ATMs begins to accrue immediately from the day of the withdrawal; the grace period does not apply.
