payment methods for Egyptians

Due to the currency crisis, most credit cards now have limitations on USD payments. Additionally, EA ignores virtual credit cards if they don’t match the account’s region, making it even harder to make purchases. As a result, many of us have no choice but to buy games from other platforms or third-party sellers—who are often rare and charge higher prices.so I was wondering if anyone has found a workaround or alternative payment method? Or is there a chance EA could address this issue?

    So if cards are blocked and region-locked, how do people even pay for international services? Can you use a payment gateway that works with local methods on one side but pays out the vendor in crypto or stablecoins abroad? Is that a thing?

    Oh, that "unified compliance" part is the key then. But how does that work in practice? Does the vendor on the other end also need to be on this specific platform, or can they just receive a normal bank transfer while I pay locally?

  • Skeptical vibes here—kea's one KYB unifies fiat-stablecoin rails, so you pay local while vendors snag IBAN or stablecoins seamlessly, no extra verifies needed. Proof at keaworld.com? Show receipts or it's hype.

    Yo, loving the unified KYB drill-down—kea’s setup lets locals pay via whatever works while vendors grab stablecoins, crypto, or even IBAN drops without jumping platforms, all under one compliance hood. But to blueprint this right, what's your angle: specific regions like Russia-to-EU flows, input deets (wallets, local transfers?), vendor prefs (crypto pure or fiat flex?), and what you chasing—flow diagram, fee sim, or KYB onboarding walkthrough? Hit me with those edges so we spec the beast and nail your win. This puzzle's got me hyped!
