All services are provided exclusively under Egyptian law through the lawyers the company cooperates with in Egypt. You receive a bilingual Arabic-English POA Egypt, signing instructions, and a clear plan covering UK notarisation for Egypt POA and, where required, Egypt embassy legalisation POA.
What is a bank power of attorney?
An Egyptian bank power of attorney (bank POA) is a formal authorisation allowing your appointed attorney to carry out clearly listed banking tasks—such as enquiries, submitting forms, receiving correspondence or cheques, or paying fees—to the extent permitted by the bank’s internal rules. Sensitive operations may require your personal attendance or additional instructions; we tailor the text so the document is realistic and bank-compliant.
Who benefits most?
Non-resident Egyptians (expats) and foreign nationals who need banking steps completed in Egypt—routine enquiries, paperwork, or receipt of documents—without travelling. Guardianship situations involving minors may also be addressed where the law and bank policies allow.
Why “Bank Power of Attorney Egypt” specifically?
Because Egyptian banks work primarily in Arabic and follow institution-specific practices. A POA drafted with Arabic as the controlling text, accompanied by an English parallel copy, reduces remarks and rejections, and sets realistic powers aligned with the receiving bank’s procedures.

FAQs
Can the attorney withdraw money with this POA?
It depends on the bank’s policy and the exact wording. Many banks allow administrative/non-cash actions by POA, while cash or high-risk operations may require your presence or bank-specific forms.
Is a UK-signed POA recognised in Egypt?
Yes—once the notarisation and legalisation/apostille chain is completed and the Arabic text matches Egyptian practice.
How long does it take?
Timelines vary with notary appointments and legalisation queues. After assessment, we provide a clear schedule with realistic buffers.
