The Arab Investment Bank (AIBK) signed a partnership with Fawry electronic payment company to provide electronic payment services for all the bank’s digital banking channels.
The contract was signed by Seif El-Nasr, AIBK chairperson and managing director, and Ashraf Sabri, CEO of Fawry, with the participation of Hisham Abdel Aal, AIBK assistant managing director, and Haitham Hammad, AIBK senior general manager and manager of retail banking.
According to Seif El-Nasr, the cooperation between the two parties will be in three stages. First, Fawry will launch an electronic portfolio for the AIBK to help its current and future customers.
