“Can Egypt's third-largest bank modernize its infrastructure through fintech partnerships fast enough to lead digital financial inclusion across 100M+ Egyptians?”
Founded in 1952 as a state-backed commercial bank, Banque du Caire has long been one of Egypt's top-three banks by size, renowned for pioneering institutionalized microfinance and financial inclusion well before peers.
