    • Al Baraka Bank offers Sharia-compliant services, engaging in financing and modernisation to boost Egypt’s market presence.
    • Experienced CEO Hazem Hegazy leads the bank, prioritising governance and transparent decision-making processes.

    A commitment to Sharia-compliant services and digital transformation

    Al Baraka Bank prides itself on offering a comprehensive suite of Sharia-compliant services, including retail, corporate, treasury, and investment banking. All transactions and operations are meticulously audited by an independent Sharia Supervisory Board, ensuring that every service provided aligns with Islamic finance principles. The bank engages directly in financing high-creditworthy companies and participates in syndicated loans for major projects that foster economic growth and job creation.

    To remain competitive in the rapidly evolving financial landscape, Al Baraka Bank is implementing a three-year strategic plan aimed at strengthening its position in the Egyptian market. This initiative involves modernising the bank’s infrastructure, enhancing its technological capabilities, and enriching its portfolio of services and products to match the digital transformation sweeping the industry.

    Leadership and governance excellence

    Under the stewardship of CEO Mr. Hazem Hegazy, who brings over three decades of experience in the financial sector, Al Baraka Bank is steering its course towards future success. Mr. Hegazy’s extensive background in retail banking, SMEs, and risk management positions him well to guide the bank through its next phase of growth.

    Al Baraka Bank places a premium on governance, adhering strictly to sound governance rules that define the distribution of rights and responsibilities among various stakeholders within the organisation. These governance practices ensure decisions are made responsibly and transparently, protecting the interests of shareholders, depositors, and other interested parties while maintaining the bank’s operational integrity and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

    About Al Baraka Bank

    Established nearly four decades ago, Al Baraka Bank has emerged as a significant institution in the Egyptian banking sector, distinguished by its adherence to Sharia principles. Recognised internationally for its rapid growth, Al Baraka Bank was honoured by Global Business Outlook Magazine as the Fastest Growing Islamic Bank in 2022. Adding to its accolades, the bank was also listed in Forbes’ compilation of Egypt’s Top 50 Companies in both 2022 and 2023, underscoring its prominence and reliability.

    With a current network of 36 branches spanning Cairo, Alexandria, and the Delta region, Al Baraka Bank is poised for further expansion. The bank has set ambitious targets to broaden its geographical reach, aiming to increase its branch network across Egypt by the end of 2025. This strategic move reflects Al Baraka’s commitment to bringing Sharia-compliant financial services closer to its expanding client base.
