National Bank of Egypt receives ISO certification and two international awards for excellence in the legal group.

The National Bank of Egypt (NBE) announced that its legal group has been awarded the ISO 9001:2015 international quality certification in legal business management. This certification is granted by the British Standards Institution (BSI) and accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). This certification is the first banking institution in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa to receive this certification in the legal field.

This achievement follows a rigorous technical review conducted by the awarding body, which included the work of the group’s litigation and legal support departments. This confirms its compliance with international quality management system standards.

In a related context, the National Bank of Egypt’s legal group won two prestigious awards at the Middle East Legal Awards 2025, held in the UAE last April:

Best Legal Group of the Year 2025 (Large Legal Teams Category).

Best Legal Team Award for Legal Initiatives Related to Social Responsibility and Environmental, Social, and Governance.

These awards represent international recognition of the bank’s legal team’s competence, competing with a select group of major international institutions and banks operating in the region.

Mohamed El Etreby, CEO of the National Bank of Egypt, expressed his pride in these successive successes, emphasizing that the legal team’s achievements reflect the bank’s commitment to applying the best international standards and embody the strength of its institutional legal structure, which contributes to achieving the bank’s strategic objectives with high efficiency and quality.

Ashraf Shaaban, the bank’s Chief Legal Officer, explained that this distinction was achieved through several factors, most notably legal competence, innovation, partnerships with business sectors, and continuous development of its staff. He emphasized that the bank’s legal teams represent a model for adopting the latest global practices in the legal field to support sustainable corporate growth.
