Presentation of Banque Misr Paris

History of Banque Misr Paris

Jean Olivier BARTHOLIN, the joint General Manager, welcome you to the site of Banque Misr Paris.

Since it was founded in 1920 by Tala'at Harb, Banque Misr has played an important role in the economic revival of a country that has become a model for the region.

With the agreement of the main financial institutions, the decision to open the Paris branch was taken in 1984. A first branch was opened in 1922 in rue Danielle Casanova (formerly called rue des Petits Champs).

Like the executive team, the branch is staffed by Egyptian and French experts. They fully represent Banque Misr Cairo and its determination to develop trade and investments, especially between Egypt and France.
