Summary
Egyptian Banks Company
payments government infrastructure business
EGYPTIAN-BANK is operated by Egyptian Banks Company.
What it's used for
- The address space carries infrastructure for national payment systems, as indicated by the netname
ORG-EBC1-AFRINICand the registrantEgyptian Banks Company. - The AS announces a single IPv4 prefix,
196.43.201.0/24, comprising 256 addresses, with no IPv6 prefixes in inventory. - With only 1 observed neighbour in RIS, the low neighbour count relative to the address block suggests a dedicated, isolated network segment rather than a transit or large-scale access provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrant
Egyptian Banks Companymatches the AS holder and the netname, confirming consistent ownership of the address space. - The operator is a government-owned joint-stock company affiliated with the Central Bank of Egypt, established in 1995 to develop and operate payment infrastructure.
- The inventory consists of a single /24 block, indicating a focused, small-scale address allocation typical of a specialized corporate or governmental entity.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
