Where can you sell dollars at the highest rate?

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

The highest dollar buying rate today was EGP 52.26, at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt, according to the latest available exchange rates.

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

Where can you buy dollars at the lowest rate?

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

The lowest dollar selling rate today was EGP 52.34, at National Bank of Kuwait – Egypt.

You can find the lowest dollar selling rate 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 rates more than once during the trading session, so the opening rate is not necessarily the rate at which banks close at the end of the day.

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

How to track today's dollar rate

With Banky, you can track the dollar rate at Egyptian banks, compare buying and selling rates and find the best available rates, with data updated whenever banks change their published rates.

Note: The rates in the body of this report record dollar levels at the start of trading on Monday, 5 October 2026, while the dollar rate table in the report shows the latest available rates. Live rates may therefore differ from the opening rates mentioned in the text.
