HC Brokerage, one of Egypt’s leading securities brokerage firms, has announced the signing of a cooperation agreement with FawryPlus for Banking Services. The partnership aims to simplify trading in the stock market, in line with HC’s strategy to expand its service offerings and enhance accessibility for clients across Egypt.
Under this agreement, HC clients will be able to open securities brokerage accounts, complete bookkeeping procedures, and sign online trading contracts, among other services, through FawryPlus’ extensive branch network across all governorates.

“Hassan Choucri, Managing Director of HC Brokerage, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating: “This agreement marks a significant milestone in HC’s journey, enhancing our ability to provide more advanced financial and investment services in line with Egypt’s digital transformation and financial inclusion agenda.”
