This step reflects Bank NXT’s commitment, as a regulated financial institution under the Central Bank of Egypt, to pursue its expansion strategy by enhancing its capital base to support growth across various sectors.”
He added that the increase aims to strengthen the bank’s capacity to finance large-scale projects, as well as SMEs and individuals, while expanding its business portfolio in financing and digital services, and reinforcing its position as one of the key banks operating in the Egyptian market. All of this is aligned with the bank’s vision for digital transformation, financial inclusion, and sustainable growth, in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030.
