The dollar, 25 September 2026: tracking the bank rate

Here are the US dollar rates at Egyptian banks today, 25 September 2026. Rates sit close together across institutions, with small differences in the buy and sell margin. The average across banks was about 51.61 pounds to buy and 51.80 pounds to sell. At the National Bank of Egypt the dollar was quoted at 51.60 pounds to buy and 51.82 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. 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. Bank rates differ slightly from those at exchange bureaux, and which is better depends on the size and type of the transaction, so a comparison is worth the minute it takes. Some banks offer preferential rates to larger account holders and corporate clients, so negotiating can be worthwhile when the transfer size justifies it.
