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 buy rate, since it is the price at which the bank buys dollars from the customer.

The highest dollar buy rate today was EGP 52.55, at SAIB, according to the latest available exchange rates.

Where can you buy dollars at the lowest price?

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

The lowest dollar sell rate today was EGP 52.62, at QNB Egypt.

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

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

How can you follow the dollar rate today?

On Banky you can follow the dollar rate at Egyptian banks, compare buy and sell prices and find the best available rates, with the 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, 12 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.
