About 3 months since the circulation of technological Credit Card in Tunisia for young developers to publish and earn money through mobile on international blinds such as the App Store or Play Store. But it seems that many find it difficult to collect money on it. Others see themselves squarely refuse the acquisition of this card for reasons that have not been mentioned in the circular of the Central Bank of Tunisia.
There were indeed cases in which people were denied the request by the banking agencies on the grounds that this card is only eligible to people looking for employment. Others got a no because they did not have a current account, which must be justified by a patent or a certificate of employment. Thing that remains, of course, impossible to have for students or young people looking for employment.
As for those who have managed to have it, they meet another type of problem. Either it is not yet recognized by Visa. Either because it does not even enabled to make transactions. And once activated, many have had the unpleasant surprise that they could not collect the money from sales of their app or publicity that is generated above.
"The technological card has enabled the Tunisian developers to create accounts on Google developers directly without bypassing via friends and / or family using their foreign cards. However, after the resolution of this first hurdle thanks to the technological card, the Tunisian developer still has the possibility of having a merchant account because the activation process merchant accounts for a specific country takes time " Taher Mestiri explains that worked on this project of the card with the ministry. "There is only 40s to over 150 countries that have this possibility now. Now, we need several departments at Google working on the issue, mainly because the legal department must take into consideration several parameters including common tax treaties between the US and the countries concerned, etc. We sent a request to that effect to the Policy Department at Google and we are still awaiting their response. "
Because of this, and in addition to the issues listed above in the beginning of the article, Tunisian developers quickly became disillusioned and accused the ministry of having laid a lie. For all these reasons, and to better overcome the problems encountered, Taher Mestiri (via TunAndroid community, and after confirmation of the Ministry of ICT and the digital economy) makes available to all Internet users an online form to identify problems encountered on the ground for people who have experienced difficulties in acquiring or using this technological Credit Card.
