AlexBank participates in Egypt's CBE mortgage initiative with structured Intesa-style underwriting. Convert your 12-month statement to Excel and the down payment and income trail are easy to verify.
Convert your AlexBank statementEgypt's mortgage market is underdeveloped relative to its population, but the CBE's mortgage initiative has driven growth in subsidised lending for units up to EGP 2.5 million. Bank of Alexandria participates in this scheme and applies Intesa Sanpaolo-influenced underwriting standards — meaning more structured 12-month statement review than at some peers.
Underwriters look for stable salary credits, manageable existing loan instalments, and a down payment that has been in the account long enough to rule out borrowed funds. Egypt's post-2022 property valuations rose sharply in EGP terms; lenders re-examine income in real terms to confirm repayment capacity. The channel code column helps separate salary income from capital movements quickly.
Salary credits with the employer reference appear monthly. Existing loan instalments show as debits with product-specific narrations. Down payment accumulation often combines monthly salary surplus with one-off SWIFT inbound transfers (from foreign work or family abroad). The channel codes separate operational spending (POS, ATM) from internal transfers (INT) that may represent down payment building.
Underwriters trace the down payment back at least 60 days, average income over the full statement period, and confirm existing obligations are within the lender's affordability threshold.

Transaction type codes identify channel: ATM, POS, BRN (branch), ONL (online), INT (internal). IBAN displayed in account header. Intesa Sanpaolo group compliance formatting means higher consistency across statement periods than many Egyptian peers.

Pull 12 months from AlexBank Mobile
AlexBank Mobile and Online both export a full-year PDF. For the CBE initiative mortgage, the 12-month statement is the standard requirement; some lenders may ask for 24 months if your income is variable.
Convert with Kashfbank
Upload the PDF. The channel codes, salary credits, and existing instalments are tagged in the Excel. The running balance reconciles end-to-end across the full 12 months.
Verify down payment seasoning
Find the row where down payment funds first entered. Confirm the date is at least 60 days before the application. Gift funds need a separate signed donor letter; SWIFT inbound from family should be cross-referenced in the export.
Submit Excel and PDF together
AlexBank's mortgage desk wants the original PDF. The Excel is your verification document — you check the numbers add up before the underwriter does.
Common challenges
Does AlexBank accept SWIFT inbound credits as qualifying income?
Yes. Egyptian banks accept consistent SWIFT inbound from foreign employment or freelance work as qualifying income, converted at the CBE rate. AlexBank's Intesa-influenced underwriting tends to be relatively transparent in how it averages FX income across the statement period.
How does the export handle post-2022 large EGP entries?
Kashfbank handles wide balance swings from EGP devaluations without breaking column alignment. FX-linked entries are tagged with their original currency, so the underwriter can see whether large EGP figures came from genuine FX inflows or from regular EGP income.
Is the CBE mortgage initiative subsidy reflected in the statement?
The CBE initiative reduces the mortgage rate; the subsidised rate is set in the loan contract, not the statement. Your AlexBank statement will show the actual monthly instalment at the subsidised rate once the loan is active. For application purposes, the statement is income evidence, not rate evidence.
What about Egypt's Mortgage Finance Authority (MFA)?
The MFA oversees the mortgage market and sometimes requires certified statement copies from the bank branch rather than downloaded PDFs. For your own verification, the Excel from the downloaded PDF is fine; for MFA submission, request a stamped branch copy if asked.
