Banque Misr Ownership

Banque Misr (Arabic: بنك مصر) is an Egyptian bank co-founded by industrialist Joseph Aslan Cattaui Pasha and economist Talaat Harb Pasha in 1920. The government of the United Arab Republic nationalized the bank in 1960. The bank has branch offices in all of Egypt’s governorates, and currency exchange and work permit offices for foreign workers in Egypt.

Banque Misr was established in 1920 by the pioneer economist and financial expert Mohamed Talaat Harb Pasha, who spearheaded the concept of investing national savings and directing them towards economic and social development. Thus, Banque Misr was established as the first wholly Egyptian – owned bank.
