2020 marked a monumental year for IBAG, when the company welcomed National Bank of Egypt and Banque Misr as IBAG’s new shareholders owning 20% each in IBAG. In September 2022, Banque du Caire joined to become the third shareholder in IBAG, with 10% equity thus rendering the shareholding of the banks to reflect a restructure where National Bank of Egypt (NBE) holds 15%, Banque Misr (BM) holds 15%, and Banque du Caire (BdC) holds 10%.
Currently, IBAG offers its services through its branches in addition to National Bank of Egypt & Banque Misr select branches.
