2. Accepted Billing Currencies & No Hidden Surcharges
We process bookings in US Dollars (USD), Euros (EUR), British Pounds (GBP), and Egyptian Pounds (EGP).
- Zero Merchant Surcharges: Amarco absorbs all standard payment gateway convenience charges. The price confirmed in your proposal or checkout screen is the precise amount deducted from your account.
- Multi-Currency Precision: If paying in a currency other than your card’s billing currency, your card issuer will execute conversion based on their daily wholesale rate with zero interference from Amarco.
3. 256-Bit SSL Encryption & Cyber Infrastructure
All digital interactions on amarcoegypt.com take place over an encrypted channel secured by 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3). This military-grade cryptographic standard ensures that all data transmitted between your browser and our web servers remains completely impenetrable to interception, eavesdropping, or tampering.
4. PCI-DSS Level 1 Tokenization & Zero Card Storage
Amarco complies with the stringent requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS Level 1):
- Your credit card information is never handled or stored in plain text on our servers.
- All checkout transactions are processed via secure cryptographic tokens through Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) licensed payment aggregators (such as Paymob, Stripe, and Fawry).
- Amarco staff members do not have access to your 16-digit card number, CVV code, or banking PINs.
5. 3D Secure 2.0 (3DS2) Authentication & Fraud Defense
To eliminate fraudulent card usage, all online credit card payments on our platform are verified via 3D Secure 2.0 (Verified by Visa, MasterCard Identity Check, American Express SafeKey). This system requires biometric authorization or a one-time SMS password (OTP) sent directly by your issuing bank, guaranteeing that only the legitimate cardholder can authorize a charge.
6. Corporate Bank Wire Verification & Fraud Advisory
Amarco maintains official corporate bank accounts with premier Egyptian and international banking institutions (including Commercial International Bank – CIB, Banque Misr, and National Bank of Egypt). Official wire transfer invoices are issued exclusively from official
@amarcoegypt.com email domains on stamped Amarco letterhead.
We will never send banking instruction changes via generic emails or message services. If you ever receive a communication requesting wire transfer to an unfamiliar account, please immediately verify with our Cairo headquarters concierge by calling +20 122 111 2330 before initiating funds.
