Egypt 1918 - Banque Belge pour l’Étranger, Cairo Branch Issued Cheque

During World War I, Cairo functioned as a logistical and administrative hub for British forces in the Eastern Mediterranean, and foreign banks-Belgian, French, British, Italian, Greek-facilitated the movement of hard currency, letters of credit, and payment instructions across the region.

1923 Banco di Roma Cairo issued cheque with Capitoline Wolf emblem and engraved Roman header

Egypt 1923 - Banco di Roma, Cairo Branch Issued Cheque

Banco di Roma played a significant role in the financial and commercial world of interwar Egypt. By the 1910s and 1920s, Italy maintained a broad expatriate community in Alexandria and Cairo, with active merchant houses, construction firms, shipping agents, agricultural exporters, contractors, and artisans. To serve this community and strengthen Italy’s economic footprint in the region, Banco di Roma established branches across the eastern Mediterranean-Alexandria, Cairo, Beirut, Smyrna-acting as both a retail bank and a conduit between Italian capital markets and Near Eastern commerce. Its Cairo branch offered current accounts, trade financing, documentary clearing, foreign exchange services, remittances to Italy, and the management of contractors' payrolls engaged in infrastructure and building projects.

1921 National Bank of Egypt Cairo issued cheque with blue guilloche frame and settlement stamps

Egypt 1921 - National Bank of Egypt, Cairo Branch Issued Cheque

By 1921, Egypt’s financial architecture was undergoing rapid transformation. The country had just emerged from World War I, inflationary pressures were reshaping credit markets, and sterling-based trade remained central to commerce. The National Bank of Egypt maintained correspondent relationships with London, Marseille, and Bombay while also managing domestic clearing for a rapidly expanding banking sector that included British, French, Italian, Belgian, and Greek institutions. Cheques like this one are direct artifacts of that transitional period-documents through which the early modern Egyptian economy conducted its day-to-day business. Read more →
