Ayman Abdel Hamid, Managing Director and Vice Chairperson of Al Taamir Mortgage Finance – Al Oula, said that providing mortgage financing to all segments of society equally is the most important pillar in the company's strategy during the coming period.
Accordingly, the company has launched a new online application that enables a number of query services and digital entry of documents via mobile phone.

The company's profits amounted to EGP 40m by the end of September 2021, and it is targeted to achieve profits of EGP 60m next year, he noted, pointing out that Al Oula initially allocated about EGP 1.5m in investments for digital transformation and full automation.

"Regarding new mortgage initiative with an interest rate of 3%, the company is about to participate in the initiative in the next few weeks. Accordingly, we have received a notification from the Egyptian Mortgage Refinance Company, which plays the role of mediator between the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and companies, of the possibility of participation after reaching an agreement with the CBE, and mechanisms of activating this initiative are being developed. It is expected to be announced before the end of this year," he disclosed.
