Bank Branch Hours Extended to 5 PM in Select Locations Across Egypt

Selected bank branches across Egypt will begin operating until 5 PM on weekdays, starting Tuesday, July 8th, 2025, under new guidelines issued by the Central Bank of Egypt. The revised working hours apply to regular weekday operations from Sunday to Thursday and will remain in effect until further notice. Each bank will determine which branches adopt the extended schedule based on operational needs and geographic distribution.

In addition to standard branches, customised schedules have been outlined for locations within shopping malls, clubs, and hotels. Bank branches situated inside shopping malls will operate from 11 AM to 8 PM daily, including Fridays and Saturdays. However, if the mall-based branch includes a separate street-facing entrance, it will follow weekday hours only, closing at 5 PM.

Branches located within sports and social clubs will remain open until 8 PM throughout the week, including weekends, to better serve club visitors. If the club-based branch has a direct street entrance, it will close at 5 PM on weekdays in line with regular branch hours.

Hotel-based bank branches will also remain open until 5 PM every day, including Fridays and Saturdays. In such cases, currency exchange services may be offered until 9 PM if the bank requests the extension. Where hotel branches have street access, they will observe weekday-only operating hours, closing at 5 PM, with the possibility of scheduled currency exchange services provided afterwards.

The Central Bank has stated that the extended hours aim to improve public access to banking services and enhance service quality across the country.
