The Commercial International Bank (CIB), one of the largest banks in Egypt, announced that it has received preliminary approval from the Central Bank of Egypt to establish a new digital bank. This step comes as part of the Egyptian banking sector's drive toward digital transformation and the development of financial services to keep pace with global advancements.
The new bank, named "Yomo," aims to provide sophisticated banking services based entirely on modern technology. It is expected that this bank will contribute to facilitating financial transactions for citizens, especially youth and small businesses, through mobile applications and electronic platforms.
