Where can you sell dollars at the highest price?

If you hold dollars and want to sell them to a bank, the figure to watch is the buying price, since that is the price at which the bank buys dollars from the customer.

The highest buying price for the dollar today was EGP 51.96, at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt, according to the latest available exchange rates.

Banky's updated table shows the highest buying price available across banks at the moment you view the report.

Where can you buy dollars at the lowest price?

If you want to buy dollars from a bank, the key figure is the selling price: the lower the selling price, the better the deal for the buyer.

The lowest selling price for the dollar today was EGP 52.04, at National Bank of Kuwait – Egypt.

You can find the lowest selling price for the dollar and compare it with other banks directly in the updated rate table, bearing in mind each bank's rules, currency availability and the purpose of the purchase.

Do dollar rates change during the day?

Yes. Banks can adjust their dollar buying and selling prices more than once during the trading session, so the opening price is not necessarily the price at which banks will close the day.

That is why Banky separates the dollar's opening price, recorded in the news report, from the current price, which is updated live in the currency rate table.

With Banky, you can follow the dollar rate at Egyptian banks, compare buying and selling prices and see the available rates, with data updated whenever banks change their posted prices.
