Currencies usually accepted: Egyptian Pound, Euro, US Dollar or Sterling. Currency Index deals in all these currencies, but we recommend obtaining a price in Egyptian Pounds for any payments to Egypt.
Usually, paying Egyptian companies in sterling will work out more expensive than using Currency Index's Egyptian Pound transfers, so don't assume sending sterling to Egypt is convenient and therefore cheap! Please ask us for further information.
Typical time for transfer to arrive: 1 to 3 working days when sent through Currency Index
Egyptian bank charges: Usually none, although we cannot guarantee this
