Here are the US dollar rates at Egyptian banks today, 7 October 2026. Rates sit close together across institutions, with small differences in the buy and sell margin. The average across banks was about 52.22 pounds to buy and 52.41 pounds to sell. At the National Bank of Egypt the dollar was quoted at 52.21 pounds to buy and 52.43 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. Some banks offer preferential rates to larger account holders and corporate clients, so negotiating can be worthwhile when the transfer size justifies it. 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. 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.
