Pros
- Credit limit ranging from EGP 5,000 to EGP 200,000.
- Graceful period on purchases up to 56 days.
- Affordable issuance and renewal fees (EGP 300 for the primary card).
- Travel insurance covering baggage delays, accidents, and certain medical conditions subject to program terms and conditions.
- Free SMS notifications.
- Smart chip providing a high level of protection against fraud.
- Useable locally and internationally via the Visa network.
Cons
- The monthly interest rate is 4%, which is high if the balance is not fully repaid.
- Cash withdrawal fees are high (4% locally and 5% internationally).
- Airport lounge access and premium travel programs available with Platinum and Infinite cards are not included.
- The maximum credit limit is lower compared to higher-tier cards.
Our take
The Arab International Bank Visa Gold card is a good option for customers looking for a card that combines relatively low fees, a flexible credit limit, and benefits such as travel insurance and free SMS service. However, it lacks luxury travel perks like airport lounge access, and the interest and cash withdrawal fees are relatively high.
