Green Products
In alignment with CBE initiatives, Bank NXT has launched the following loans in 2023:
Electric Car Loans in April
The electric car loan, with a total value of EGP 4,341,000, is similar to the auto loan (same criteria), although we now encourage applicants by waiving the admin fee. The main purpose of this loan is to encourage customers to adopt electric/battery alternatives to fossil fuels to reduce energy usage and emissions.
Solar Power Loans in November
The solar panel loan was introduced to customers under the same personal loan criteria, that is, according to their individual capacities and status: self-employed, salaried, or installment transfer. The main purpose of this loan is to encourage customers to use solar power instead of direct electricity to reduce energy usage and emissions.
