Anglo-Egyptian Bank

Anglo-Egyptian Bank was a British bank founded in 1864 and operating in Egypt, with its headquarters in Alexandria. It developed during the formation of modern banking in 19th-century Egypt and the expansion of trade between Britain and Egypt, providing banking services connected with commercial activity. In 1925, it merged with the Colonial Bank and the National Bank to become part of Barclays' Dominion, Colonial and Overseas business. The independent Anglo-Egyptian Bank identity consequently disappeared. The available material does not establish the bank's founder, branch network, detailed products, or financial figures, so those details are omitted.

Anglo-Egyptian Bank was established in 1864 and conducted banking business in Egypt, with its headquarters in Alexandria. It operated during a period when commercial links between Egypt and Britain were strengthening and modern banking institutions were developing in Egypt. Its activities were associated with trade and commercial finance, giving it a role in Anglo-Egyptian economic exchange. The available material does not reliably identify its founders, major branches, executives, or detailed financial performance, so those aspects are not expanded here. In 1925, Anglo-Egyptian Bank merged with the Colonial Bank and the National Bank and became part of Barclays' Dominion, Colonial and Overseas organization. The merger ended its independent operation and brand history.
