Established in 1981 and headquartered in Giza, Egypt, the bank operates as an Egyptian-Gulf joint financial enterprise listed on the Egyptian Exchange under the ticker symbol EGBE, with substantial shareholding interests held by institutional and private investors across Egypt and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including Misr Insurance Company and the Bukhamseen Group. The bank operates through multiple core divisions comprising Retail Banking, Corporate Banking, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), Treasury and Capital Markets, and Sharia-compliant Islamic Banking. Its retail product portfolio includes current, savings, and investment accounts; high-yield certificates of deposit (CDs) and fixed time deposits; personal loans, auto loans, residential mortgage facilities, education loans, and durable goods financing; credit, debit, and contactless payment cards; wealth management and private banking services; and bancassurance products. Its corporate and institutional banking operations provide working capital facilities, medium- and long-term project finance, and syndicated loan participation; trade finance services, including letters of credit, documentary collections, and letters of guarantee; structured finance; cash and liquidity management; and automated corporate payroll solutions. Under its specialized youth-focused platform, MINT by EGBANK, the bank delivers customized digital banking products, tailored credit solutions, entrepreneurship incubator services, and venture mentorship.
