A circular dated March 30, 2026 regarding banks activating the remote work mechanism on Sunday of every week during the month of April 2026

The Central Bank of Egypt has mandated a remote work mechanism for banks every Sunday throughout April 2026, a response to current geopolitical and economic conditions. This directive ensures that all critical banking services, including customer call centers, ATM functionality, and electronic channels, remain fully operational, with a strong emphasis on continuous monitoring and enhanced cybersecurity. This temporary measure will be subject to review at the end of April, requiring immediate compliance from all banks.
