Sending Money to Egypt

Egypt is one of Africa's largest remittance recipients, receiving approximately $25–30 billion annually — primarily from Egyptians working in the Gulf, Europe, and North America. Egypt's diaspora spans multiple continents, making it a well-served destination across all major sending currencies.

The Egyptian pound (EGP) has undergone significant reforms since 2022, with exchange rates stabilising following liberalisation. However, provider margins on EGP transfers still vary considerably, making comparison essential to ensure your recipient gets the most.

FAQ: Sending Money to Egypt

What is the best rate to send money to Egypt?
The best rate changes throughout the day as providers adjust their exchange rates. Always compare the total amount your recipient receives — not just the fee — as some "zero fee" providers compensate with a worse exchange rate. Jara compares 5 providers live so you can find the best deal in seconds.
How long does a transfer to Egypt take?
Most transfers to Egypt arrive within 1–3 business days, though many providers offer same-day or instant options. Delivery time depends on the provider, your payment method, and the receiving method. Mobile money is typically fastest; bank transfers may take longer. Always check the provider's estimated delivery time before sending.
What are the transfer limits for sending money to Egypt?
Limits vary by provider and your account verification level. Wise typically supports large transfers for verified accounts. Remitly and Western Union often cap individual transfers around the equivalent of 50,000 in your sending currency, while WorldRemit generally limits to around 10,000 per transaction. Always verify current limits on the provider's website before initiating a transfer.
What details do I need to send money to Egypt?
For most bank deposits you'll need the recipient's full name, bank account number, and the bank's routing or branch code. Some providers also accept mobile money IDs or wallet numbers. You'll need to complete identity verification with your chosen provider before your first transfer.
Can I send money to Egypt from multiple countries?
Yes — Jara compares rates from 5 countries including the UK, US, Europe, Canada, and Australia. Use the tabs above to switch between sending countries and see live rates for each corridor.
Why do exchange rates differ between providers?
Each provider sources foreign exchange differently and applies their own markup above the mid-market rate. Some advertise "zero fees" but compensate with a wider margin on the rate. The only reliable comparison is the total EGP your recipient actually receives — which is exactly what Jara shows.
How do recipients receive money in Egypt?
Recipients in Egypt can receive money via bank deposit to major Egyptian banks including CIB, National Bank of Egypt, and Banque Misr. Cash pickup through Western Union and MoneyGram is also available in major cities across the country.
