Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority grants eight non-bank finance approvals including temporary healthcare programme administration and consumer finance licences

The Egypt Financial Regulatory Authority has granted eight approvals for companies to carry out non-banking financial activities, extending market access across investment funds, capital markets services, healthcare programme administration and consumer finance. The package covers both new company formations and operating licences, including a temporary licence for Mid Mark TPA to manage healthcare programmes as a Third Party Administrator and a consumer finance licence for Malaz. The approvals include the establishment of Belton Fund Company for investment in real estate assets and Lantis for securities portfolio formation and management, securities offering promotion and underwriting, and investment fund management. Business Community Financial Investments was licensed for venture capital, while Al Salem Holding and Amjad Holding were licensed to participate in establishing companies that issue securities or in capital increases. SAFE was licensed for securities offering promotion and underwriting and for managing real estate investment funds. Malaz's consumer finance licence was granted because its application had been submitted before the authority's February 2026 decision suspending the acceptance of new incorporation applications and preliminary approvals for companies seeking consumer finance licences.
