A warm welcome to our 6,000th member in this new year !

AMFIE’s Staff, Board & Strategy Committee join me in wishing you all the best for 2019. Whether you desire to save, spend or simply make transfers the safest and most efficient way, AMFIE will be at your side in Luxembourg, on our website and in your pocket through our newly launched App (download it now if you haven’t done so yet!).

2018 has been a challenging year on the financial markets and, you will appreciate the positive returns of our savings and flexible accounts in comparison with the negative performances of global market assets. (2018 was the first time all asset classes went down irrespective of
their nature). We chose to keep your returns on savings accounts unchanged throughout 2018, but year-end performances prevented us from giving any additional bonus. Thanks to our embedded low risk investment strategy, we can better preserve your deposits today and in the long term. We are happy and proud to see our member base grow rapidly, spreading to more institutions with additional payroll deduction schemes.

Our wishes for 2019 are to keep you happy with us, to enlarge our community and find solutions to your needs. In order to do so, we are working on dedicated surveys to help you guide us in the right direction. So stay tuned… !

Stéphane Argyropoulos
President of the Board of Directors

The APP allows members to request transactions and view their AMFIE account balances, such as those available on AMFIE.NET. It was
launched end of November 2018 and you already are more than 650 members to have downloaded it.

The application is a great success and most of the users are active. We thank our members who provided us with constructive feedback and we will continuously improve
the application in the future.

Mr. Zaghloul was elected to the Board in June 2018. We interviewed him to learn more about why he chose to serve on AMFIE’s Board and his vision for AMFIE’s future.

Could you tell us a little bit about your background? - Where you grew up? Where you studied?
I was born and raised in Cairo. I studied engineering with a major in computer science as an undergraduate. Later, I got a chance to study at Harvard, where I completed a Masters of Public Administration and then a PhD in Urban Planning with a minor in Computer Science. My research was to develop a computer model that can predict the urban growth of a city.
