How to get a good USD to EGP exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Egyptian pound:

  1. Shop around for the best USD/EGP exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the USD/EGP rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both USD and EGP at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Egyptian pound with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/EGP exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Doing business in Egypt

Egypt is the largest and most populous country in the Arab world and a major player in the Middle East. It has a diversified economy with a mix of modern and traditional industries. The country is a major producer of oil and natural gas and has a large agricultural sector. However, tourism, construction, and manufacturing are also important sources of income.

Doing business in Egypt can be challenging due to bureaucratic procedures, red tape, and the lack of transparency. The legal system can also be complex and time-consuming. Corruption is also a concern in Egypt, although the government has made efforts in recent years to combat it.

However, the country has several advantages for foreign investors, including a large and educated workforce, a strategic location, and access to a large market. There are also free trade agreements in place with several countries, which can provide preferential treatment for exports to certain markets.

In recent years, Egypt's government has implemented economic reform measures, including currency devaluation, floating exchange rate, and major cut on subsidies which aim to improve the business environment and attract foreign investment.

It is recommended for foreign investors to seek legal and financial guidance before entering the Egyptian market.
