Demonstrating its pride in its national heritage and its enduring impact on Egypt’s economy, Banque Misr has launched its new historic website: bmhistorical.banquemisr.com. The platform blends a century of rich history with a forward-looking vision, offering visitors an immersive digital experience that celebrates more than 100 years of achievements and contributions.

The site serves as an interactive journey through the bank’s economic and cultural legacy since its founding in 1920 by pioneering economist Mohamed Talaat Harb Pacha. With his forward-thinking vision, he championed the principle of “Egyptianization” establishing a lasting identity rooted in independence and pride. This launch builds on a century-long tradition that helped drive Egypt’s industrial and financial growth, cementing Banque Misr as an icon of national leadership and a source of inspiration for generations.

Through a sleek, modern design and rich content, the website highlights key milestones—from the establishment of Egypt’s first national companies in industry, transport, and insurance, to the bank’s pivotal role in supporting the national economy, and its current status as a cornerstone of the Arab and regional banking sector.

The initiative also underscores Banque Misr’s commitment to celebrating Egypt’s heritage as a source of pride, creativity, and inspiration. At the heart of this digital journey is the Banque Misr Museum, located in the bank’s headquarters in downtown Cairo, home to a unique collection of rare treasures that chronicle a century of struggle, progress, and success.

Visitors can explore the museum through a 360-degree virtual tour, allowing them to experience Egypt’s banking history from anywhere in the world. The launch reflects the bank’s dedication to preserving its legacy and passing it on to future generations in a modern, innovative format. It also embodies Banque Misr’s philosophy that the past is a source of strength for the future, and that history is a driving force for continued growth and development.

With this pioneering step, Banque Misr reinforces its position as Egypt’s first national bank and a cornerstone of the national economy—an institution that has witnessed and shaped the country’s journey with determination and vision, leaving a lasting mark on modern Egyptian history.
