Ashmawy noted that the bank’s Board approved the restructuring of the bank’s internal audit and risk committee, as well as the introduction of new banking products, including the conditional gift product and the property management product.
He explained that the bank provides a variety of investment certificates to suit all segments of society, and one of their advantages is that they offer flexible interest payments, whether monthly, quarterly, or annually.
The bank has maintained its rates of return on investment certificates for three-year term at 12.75% annually, 12.25% quarterly, and 12% monthly. In addition, the certificate of “Rad El Gamil” kept its return at 13% annually, 12.50% quarterly, and 12.25% monthly for a period of three years, while the one-year type has a return of 11.50% annually and 11% monthly.
