The story

Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt (FIBE) is Egypt's first Islamic commercial bank, offering Shariah-compliant retail and corporate banking to over 2 million customer accounts with $4.8 billion in assets. Having operated on legacy digital infrastructure for over a decade, FIBE initiated a major digital transformation in 2025 by implementing Intellect Design Arena's eMACH.ai Digital Engagement Platform to modernize its customer-facing digital banking capabilities. This shift reflects a strategic move from legacy system dependence to a composable, AI-powered digital banking architecture suited to Egypt's increasingly digital financial landscape.
