She remarked, "The progress we are witnessing today underscores the effectiveness of government investments, bolstered by the contributions of both the National Investment Bank and the Sovereign Fund of Egypt. This initiative is a key part of our vision to create opportunities for the private sector while maximizing the value and returns from state-owned assets. Ultimately, this approach supports the goals outlined in the State Ownership Policy Document, which aims to enhance economic growth across the nation."

Tarek Kabil, Chairman of Bank NXT, expressed his enthusiasm for the rebranding, stating, “At Bank NXT, we take immense pride in our comprehensive and progressive restructuring strategy, which is designed to align our services with the evolving needs of our customers. The rebranding exercise goes beyond changing our name and brand identity; it also symbolizes the quality of our offerings, which we tend to launch soon to target new customer segments. Such offerings reflect our innate vision to position ourselves among the top ten banks in Egypt in terms of return on equity and return on assets in the next five years.

Kabil also highlighted that the rebranding marks the start of a new chapter for the bank. Over the past three years, we have grown thanks to the support and trust of our shareholders in our new strategy, which has driven growth and increased profitability. The bank is committed to maintaining high governance standards and solid banking practices while addressing all current challenges proactively and improving our digital infrastructure. This helps us secure an improved market share and stay up-to-date with the latest digital solutions in the banking sector.”
