About National Bank of Egypt

National Bank of Egypt (NBE) is the oldest commercial bank in Egypt, founded in 1898. NBE's role has changed several times in its history. During the 1950s, NBE assumed the role of central bank. After its nationalization in the 1960s, it acted as a pure commercial bank as well as carrying out the functions of the central bank in the areas where the latter had no branches. Since mid-1960s, NBE has been in charge of issuing investment certificates on behalf of the government. NBE has an extensive network of 510 branches and offices nationwide. The bank maintains an international presence in the UK,  Sudan, USA, China and has representative offices in South Africa, UAE and Ethiopia.
