Over the past few years, EFG Hermes Holding has transformed itself from a pure play MENA investment bank into an Egyptian universal bank with a market-leading frontier emerging markets (FEM) investment banking platform that is home to super brands. Today, we can offer our corporate, retail and institutional clients across all our jurisdictions best-in-class sell-side services (securities brokerage, advisory and research) in addition to a multitude of investment solutions that include world-class management of funds that invest in renewables (Vortex Energy), MENA and frontier public equities (EFG Hermes and FIM), Education (Egypt Education Fund) and start- ups (EFG EV Fintech).

In addition to the above, in Egypt, we offer our clients buy-now pay-later (BNPL) fintech (valU), microfinance (Tanmeyah), leasing and factoring (Corp-Solutions), insurance (Kaf), e-payments (PayTabs Egypt), mortgage finance (Bedaya) and soon a comprehensive range of saving and lending products (aiBANK).

We also recently launched EFG Hermes One in Egypt and Kenya, a state-of-the-art trading platform that provides users with one-click access to multiple markets and global exchanges, allowing users to trade asset classes across some of the world’s most exciting markets.

To complement its core business, EFG Hermes established the EFG Hermes Foundation for Social Development in 2006 in order to spearhead the Group’s corporate social responsibility initiatives and positively impact the communities in which it operates.

The Foundation believes that partnerships are the true driving force behind realizing tangible impact and promoting sustainable development and adopts a participatory approach to empower local communities and allow for its integrated development programmes to have maximum impact on the lives of its residents.

Our core values-integrity, commitment, leadership, and value creation-and the six principles of our corporate strategy-people, positioning, presence, product offerings, profitability and public responsibility-underpin all our initiatives, as does our social purpose, ‘to leverage our financial expertise and capitalize on our human talent to create sustainable value for our stakeholders and the communities we serve.’
