Currently, with the temporary truce in place, there is more room for goods to enter from the West Bank, so merchants in Gaza are buying their goods through bank transfers rather than cash, meaning they transfer funds through banks rather than using cash.

We buy goods through Bank of Palestine or through the PalPay wallet, and some people use the Palestinian Islamic Bank or Bank of Jerusalem, depending on the trader's preference.
