These initiatives promote the financial inclusion plans of the Central Bank of Egypt and go in line with state’s strategy and Egypt Vision 2030 on supporting handicapped people as indispensable part of the society.

The bank has trained its customer service employees on dealing with sign language and provided this service in all the bank’s branches nationwide. This initiative is the first of its kind in Egypt.
