Bokra, the MENA region’s first Sharia-compliant digital savings and investment platform backed by real assets, has relaunched its mobile application with upgraded features aimed at both individuals and businesses. The move strengthens its position as a trusted leader in digital finance while aligning with the growing demand for ethical and transparent financial solutions.

Serving a Growing Community

Bokra already serves over 45,000 clients, including more than 2,000 first-time sukuk investors. This reflects the platform’s ability to reach underserved segments and build trust with users seeking safe and compliant ways to save and invest.

  • ✅ Over 45,000 clients across Egypt and beyond
  • ✅ 2,000+ first-time sukuk investors onboarded
  • ✅ Real-asset–backed savings and investments

This growing adoption highlights a clear market shift toward inclusive, accessible, and Sharia-compliant digital finance.

Vision and Mission

Founder and CEO Ayman El-Sawy emphasized that Bokra’s mission has always been about democratizing access to digital savings:

“Our goal is to enable individuals and enterprises to participate in secure, transparent, and Sharia-compliant financial products. The strong uptake of sukuk through our platform shows we are addressing real market needs.”

He further noted that Bokra’s newly re-engineered app now integrates AI-driven tools to provide users with a smoother, more personalized, and more secure financial experience.

New App Features

The relaunched application introduces a host of enhancements designed to improve user journeys and reinforce security.

  • AI-powered personalization for better savings and investment recommendations
  • Faster onboarding through fully digital KYC (Know Your Customer)
  • Seamless digital contracts with electronic recordkeeping
  • Enhanced security layers for safe transactions

These upgrades make the platform more intuitive and user-friendly, encouraging broader adoption among both individuals and businesses.

Regulatory Approval: A Major Step Forward

Earlier this year, Bokra received official authorization from Egypt’s Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) to operate as a licensed fintech platform. This approval allows Bokra to offer:

  • Fully digital KYC and onboarding
  • Electronic contracting and recordkeeping
  • Licensed Sharia-compliant investment services

Such recognition not only strengthens Bokra’s credibility but also accelerates its role in advancing financial inclusion and sustainable economic growth across Egypt and the wider region.

Looking Ahead

With a growing user base and strong regulatory backing, Bokra is now focused on scaling its impact across MENA. The company plans to continue innovating products that:

  • Empower individuals to save and invest responsibly
  • Support enterprises with ethical and secure financial tools
  • Boost national and regional economies through inclusive fintech

By combining Sharia compliance, asset-backed investments, and cutting-edge fintech, Bokra is setting new standards for digital savings in Egypt and positioning itself as a regional leader.
