Here are the US dollar rates at Egyptian banks today, 14 September 2026. Rates sit close together across institutions, with small differences in the buy and sell margin.
The average across banks was about 51.29 pounds to buy and 51.49 pounds to sell. At the National Bank of Egypt the dollar was quoted at 51.28 pounds to buy and 51.50 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.
Watching the rate over several days before executing a large transaction beats acting immediately. A small difference in rate compounds with the size of the amount.
Bank exchange rates operate under central bank supervision and reflect the supply of foreign currency and the exchange-rate policy in force, which makes them the most reliable reference for transfers, imports and travel cards.
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.
