Although the letter of assurance sent by Tunisia a few weeks ago, and despite the positive exchange between the Ministry of the digital economy, modern technologies and paypal during these past few days, the change in attitude entirely on the introduction of its services to Tunisia.
In fact, official email has been sent by the Department paypal to the Ministry of the digital economy and modern technologies last Thursday, where the American company declares a dry manner refused to Tunisia file, without any explanation or logical reason, where the exchange rate is the real reason.
The main point of disagreement is sticking to the "Paypal" provided to send money from the account of the tunisians to any other account in the world, which is rejected by the central bank for the appropriateness of this request with the bill of exchange in Tunisia, which criminalizes electronic transactions and hard currency transfers to foreign accounts.
It is currently negotiating with other companies compete for "Paypal" along the lines of " سكـريـل" to consider the possibility of finding an agreement with it on this issue. And we believe also that the ministry will go to a great extent to support civil society so as to restore the Tunisian Central Bank considered this law.
And it should be mentioned that the Tunisian Central Bank has complied with the requirements of the paypal on the free use of recovered funds in this trend. This is the first time in the history of the Tunisian Central Bank, which, despite the restrictions imposed on the Law of the exchange rate, take responsibility, and the overall openness toward currency services to Paypal. But it was only one condition by the Tunisian Central Bank: Payment must be made through paypal in Tunisia. In other words, Tunisian during his trip abroad will not have the capacity to manage the funds on paypal and it will have to wait until the return to Tunisia to do so. This requirement has been developed in the light of the restrictions imposed on the exchange rate. At the same time, the central council has begun work on the drafting of a new and more suitable to new markets.
He also added that the agreement with any of these sites of global trade will only approve the freedom of exchange of funds between all accounts regardless of the nationality of the owner of this "default" bank account or the resident country.
