The ranking, which covered all 12 banks listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange, showed that all banks recorded positive growth in their retail deposit portfolios during H1 2026.
The ranking also revealed significant changes in the positions of the top five banks, while Suez Canal Bank maintained its position as the fastest-growing listed Egyptian bank in terms of retail deposits during H1 2026.
The total retail deposit portfolio of all Egyptian banks listed on the stock exchange grew by approximately 13.53% during H1 2026, reaching 1.90 EGP tn at the end of June 2026, compared with 1.67 EGP tn at the end of 2025, an increase of more than 226.30 EGP bn in just 6 months.
The ranking also showed the complete absence of Islamic banks from the top five in terms of retail deposit growth during H1 2026. This reflects their relatively limited presence among the fastest-growing banks in this market, despite their sizable deposit bases.
