Egypt is set to usher in a new era of financial services with the launch of OneBank, the country’s first fully digital bank.
Backed by Banque Misr and approved by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), the bank will roll out its digital-only products and services in 2026, marking a breakthrough in the nation’s digital transformation journey.
Founded in 2020 as Misr Digital Innovation, the company was established to pioneer digital-native banking in Egypt. Its transformation into OneBank reflects a clear mission: to expand financial inclusion and provide secure, technology-driven services accessible to all Egyptians, including underserved and unbanked populations.
By eliminating physical branches and offering banking through digital platforms only, the company aims to redefine convenience, accessibility, and trust in Egypt’s financial sector.
Leadership Behind OneBank
The transition is led by Sherif El-Behiry, CEO and Managing Director, alongside Chairperson Khaled El Attar and a board of seasoned experts in technology, law, investment, and public policy.
“We are not just introducing a new digital bank; we are redefining the future of banking in Egypt,” said El-Behiry.
El Attar reinforced this vision, noting: “OneBank is a new beginning in Egypt’s financial history and a pivotal step in embedding digital transformation into the national economy.”
With OneBank, Egypt is positioning itself as a leader in digital banking innovation across the region, setting the stage for smarter, more inclusive, and seamless financial services.
