Here are the US dollar rates at Egyptian banks today, 26 September 2026. Rates sit close together across institutions, with small differences in the buy and sell margin.
The average across banks was about 51.60 pounds to buy and 51.79 pounds to sell. At the National Bank of Egypt the dollar was quoted at 51.58 pounds to buy and 51.80 pounds to sell.
The banks tracked here include the largest institutions operating in Egypt — NBE, Banque Misr, CIB, QNB and HSBC among them. All quote within a few piastres of one another, since each works to the official market rate under central bank supervision.
Keep receipts from currency transactions, particularly when travelling. They may be required when converting an amount back or proving the source of the currency.
The dollar rate at the National Bank of Egypt and Banque Misr serves as a reference many people follow, being the two largest banks, though differences with the rest usually stay small.
When withdrawing or depositing in a foreign currency, ask about fees and commissions as well as the headline rate — they can change the final cost more than the rate itself.
