Overview
Egyptian Arab Land Bank traces its origins to the Egyptian Land Bank, incorporated by a Khedival Decree issued on February 15, 1880, initially focused on lending to landlords to develop the agricultural sector.

The bank today offers retail banking, corporate credit across many sectors, residential unit finance, real estate development and project feasibility studies.
History
On February 15, 1880, Khedive Tawfik issued a Khedival Decree for the incorporation of a joint-stock company named the Egyptian Land Bank, which was initially concerned with contributing to the development of the agricultural sector by offering loans to landlords. In March 1946, the Arab League issued a decree for the incorporation of the Arab Land Bank, pursuant to the Egyptian Royal Decree, in the name of the Arab Land Company, with objectives including establishing it in Palestine to support the Palestinians and lend them to purchase agricultural requisites for the reclamation of their lands. On June 17, 1954, the company was licensed after changing its name to the Arab Land Bank by virtue of the Egyptian Republican Decree. On June 13, 1999, a Decree was adopted by the Cabinet of Egypt to merge the Egyptian Land Bank into the Arab Land Bank, creating a large and well-established Egyptian banking entity specialized in real estate investment, practicing all commercial activities as a comprehensive commercial bank in Jordan and Palestine; total assets after the merger reached more than 11 billion Egyptian Pounds (approximately 3.2 billion US Dollars).
