Hi all
I have looked into a current account at HSBC in Egypt as I was told that you need a min £1,000 in the account.
Their website states a minimum average balance of 5,000LE to be held in the current account. If your account falls below this minimum amount then you will be charged 20LE service charge each month.
Savings account - minimum average balance held is 3,000LE and same service charge each month as above.
You can open an account online
