Where to 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 price, since it is the price at which the bank buys dollars from the customer.

The highest dollar buy price today was EGP 54.50, at Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank – Egypt (ADIB Egypt), according to the latest available exchange rates.

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

Where to Buy Dollars at the Lowest Price?

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

The lowest dollar sell price today was EGP 54.50, at SAIB.

You can find the lowest dollar sell price 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 prices more than once during a trading session, so the opening rate is not necessarily the rate at which banks will close 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 Follow the Dollar Rate Today

Through Banky you can follow the dollar rate at Egyptian banks, compare buy and sell prices and find the best rates available, with data updated whenever the prices announced by banks change.

Note: The prices cited in the body of this report record dollar levels at the start of trading on Wednesday 21 October 2026, while the dollar rate table within the report shows the latest available prices, so live prices may differ from the opening prices mentioned in the text.
