Frequently asked questions
How much does PalPay cost to hold?+
The monthly fee is ILS 0, and PalPay runs a no-monthly-fee model. That is the cheapest end of the range, where the site median sits at €0 and the top of the range reaches €449. There is no set-up charge listed either.
Who regulates PalPay?+
PalPay is licensed by the Palestine Monetary Authority in Palestine. The licence, its country and the regulator are the only ones recorded for the brand, so the oversight is local rather than cross-border.
Is my money protected by a deposit scheme?+
No deposit protection scheme is stated for PalPay. The only protection information linked to the brand comes through its licence with the Palestine Monetary Authority, which is a regulator rather than a compensation scheme.
How many currencies can I hold?+
PalPay lists 3 currencies. That sits below the 9 median for everyday accounts, and well under the 350 seen across the widest accounts on the site.
How fast do I get money out?+
Delivery is Instant, so transfers land as soon as they are sent. You can take money out to a bank account, at a cash pickup point, or into a wallet, which is what bank, cash pickup and wallet lists.
Is PalPay a physical account?+
No, the account is digital only, meaning everything is handled in the app or online. Digital-only accounts make up 50.7% of the offering across the site, so this is a common setup rather than an unusual one.
How do I get help?+
Support comes through phone and help centre, so you have a phone line and a help centre to work with. There is no live chat listed, which may matter if you prefer typing to a person rather than calling.
When was PalPay founded and where is it based?+
PalPay is headquartered in Palestine, and the legal entity is registered as PALPAY. It has been operating since 2010, which is long enough to be familiar locally but recent in the digital account market.
