Banque du Caire plans to open 14 new branches during 2017 in a number of governorates. The company said that the bank decided to open new branches in Greater Cairo, Alexandria, Ismailia, Sharqeya, Luxor, Menoufiya, Assiut, Sohag, Daqahleya, and Beheira, to provide the best level of service that suits the needs of customers in those governorates. The bank recently inaugurated seven new branches of a total of 11 branches that were scheduled to be inaugurated before the end of 2016. This comes in line with a plan to deploy the banking culture among all segments of citizens and brings the number of branches and units to 236. The seven branches were inaugurated in New Nozha, 10th of Ramadan City, Luxor, El-Hamam City in Marsa Matrouh, El-Sewaky in Fayoum, Hafez Ibrahim in Port Said, and Tawfik City in Nasr City. The bank continues to take all necessary measures for the opening of four new branches by the end of this year in Sheikh Zayed in Giza, Bella in Kafr Al-Sheikh, Horreya Road in Alexandria, and Damietta. The bank also completed the development of about 33 branches of a total of 40 branches to be developed before the end of 2016, which would contribute to strengthening the bank's presence in the regions and governorates that do not have adequate banking services.
