The British first established the Bank of Egypt, also referred to as the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, in 1864. The bank further expanded to other overseas branches such as in Gibraltar, Cyprus, and Malta. By 1925, the Bank of Egypt had 16 branches across various Mediterranean cities. It eventually merged with the Barclays Bank.1
