Exchange rates and banking indicators, 27 September 2026

Here are the US dollar rates at Egyptian banks today, 27 September 2026. Rates sit close together across institutions, with small differences in the buy and sell margin. The average across banks was about 51.67 pounds to buy and 51.86 pounds to sell. At the National Bank of Egypt the dollar was quoted at 51.65 pounds to buy and 51.87 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. Each bank sets daily limits on foreign currency withdrawals, and those limits change from time to time. It is worth asking in advance before planning any large transaction. The gap between a bank's buy and sell rate is its margin on the transaction. It is normal, usually small, and fairly consistent across the larger banks. It helps to distinguish the cash buying rate from the transfer rate. They can differ slightly at some banks, reflecting the different cost of handling each.
