Financial inclusion is one of the main pillars supporting Egypt’s vision 2023 for sustainable development (SDS), which aims to expand access to financial services. In October 2022, the Central Bank of Egypt announced the “Financial Inclusion Strategy Framework 2022-2025”; an overarching framework ensuring consensus among stakeholders over the financial inclusion roadmap and objectives.
EBC prides itself as an enabler of financial inclusion and serving as the CBE’s technological arm for building and operating a robust infrastructure for electronic payments. EBC has contributed actively to its role through introducing successful cash displacements accelerating the shift to non-cash payments. We will continue leveraging every potential to support the transition to a less cash dependent society
