Here are the US dollar rates at Egyptian banks today, 20 September 2026. Rates sit close together across institutions, with small differences in the buy and sell margin.
The average across banks was about 52.05 pounds to buy and 52.25 pounds to sell. At the National Bank of Egypt the dollar was quoted at 52.04 pounds to buy and 52.26 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.
Most banks now offer apps showing the rate live and allowing transfers without a branch visit, which saves time and lets you act the moment a suitable rate appears.
It is worth comparing more than one bank before any large transfer, and checking again on the day, since rates can change during working hours.
