REST, JavaScript and Python examples." canonical: https://allratestoday.com/blog/abu-dhabi-commercial-bank-egypt-exchange-rate-api/ source: AllRatesToday (https://allratestoday.com/) — Markdown mirror of the page above; index of all pages at https://allratestoday.com/llms.txt generated: 2026-11-15T19:13:49.108Z --- ADCB Egypt is the Egyptian subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, formerly Union National Bank Egypt. Its home page lists banknote and transfer buy and sell rates in Egyptian pounds for seven currencies. This guide shows how to read that board as JSON: what the rates mean, how they compare with the Central Bank of Egypt official rate and with other banks in Egypt, and the calls that return them. ## What the ADCB Egypt board shows - **7 currencies against the Egyptian pound**: AED, CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY, SAR and USD. Every value is EGP per 1 unit of the foreign currency. - **The transfer pair.** The Egyptian pound has floated since March 2024, so each bank sets its own buying and selling rates from the interbank market. Banks quote bank notes and transfers separately and often show no cash rate for currencies they do not hold as notes; the pair here is the transfer one. The Central Bank of Egypt sets the official rate. - **USD on 15 November 2026**: ADCB Egypt bought at 53.62 and sold at 53.72 EGP, a spread of 0.19%. The Central Bank of Egypt official rate was 53.5047, so the bank's mid sat +0.31% from it. - **No timestamp on the bank's page.** ADCB Egypt does not print a last-updated time, so `bank_updated_at` is `null` and `captured_at` (when AllRatesToday read the page) is the only time available. - **Every day's board is kept permanently, from 15 November 2026, the day collection started.** Read one past day with `?date=`, or a range for one currency with the `/history` endpoint (paid plans). ## Spreads across the board On the 15 November 2026 board the tightest spreads were USD (0.19%), CAD (0.52%), GBP (0.58%) and the widest SAR (2.69%), AED (0.87%), EUR (0.67%). Spread is (sell − buy) ÷ mid: what a round trip through the bank costs, before any fees. The API returns it on every row as `spread_pct`, so you can rank currencies or alert when a bank widens its board. ## USD at ADCB Egypt and other banks in Egypt USD on the 11 boards AllRatesToday reads in Egypt, all captured on 15 November 2026 (the Central Bank of Egypt official rate was 53.5047): | Bank | Buy | Sell | Spread | Mid vs official | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Banque Misr | 53.68 | 53.78 | 0.19% | +0.42% | | Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank Egypt | 53.7 | 53.8 | 0.19% | +0.46% | | Housing and Development Bank | 53.55 | 53.65 | 0.19% | +0.18% | | EGBANK (Egyptian Gulf Bank) | 53.39 | 53.49 | 0.19% | -0.12% | | Bank of Alexandria | 53.78 | 53.88 | 0.19% | +0.61% | | Crédit Agricole Egypt | 53.68 | 53.78 | 0.19% | +0.42% | | **Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank Egypt** | 53.62 | 53.72 | 0.19% | +0.31% | | ABK Egypt (Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait) | 53.65 | 53.75 | 0.19% | +0.36% | | Al Baraka Bank Egypt | 53.7 | 53.8 | 0.19% | +0.46% | | First Abu Dhabi Bank Misr (FABMISR) | 53.7 | 53.8 | 0.19% | +0.46% | | NBK Egypt (National Bank of Kuwait - Egypt) | 53.7 | 53.8 | 0.19% | +0.46% | ADCB Egypt had the 5th narrowest USD spread of the 11.

The Central Bank of Egypt rate is the one tax, accounting and customs rules in Egypt name; nobody transacts at it. ADCB Egypt's board is the price a customer actually gets. The API puts both on every row: `official` is the central bank's rate for the same currency and `vs_official_pct` is how far the bank's mid sits from it. Use the board to show customers a real price, compare banks for a remittance, or keep a dated record of what the bank quoted; use the [Central Bank of Egypt endpoint](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/cbe/) when a rule asks for the official rate. ## FAQ ### Where do the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank Egypt rates come from? From the bank's own public rates page (https://www.adcb.com.eg/), read hourly. AllRatesToday does not change the numbers: each row is the buy and sell price ADCB Egypt shows, with the mid, the spread and the Central Bank of Egypt rate added. ### Are these the official EGP exchange rates? No. They are ADCB Egypt's retail prices for customers. The official rate in Egypt is the Central Bank of Egypt rate, which the API returns as `official` on each row where the central bank has one, and in full from the central-bank endpoint. ### How often is the ADCB Egypt board updated? AllRatesToday reads the page every hour. The bank prints no timestamp, so `captured_at` tells you when the rates were read. ### Can I get ADCB Egypt rates for a past date? Yes, from 15 November 2026 onward; every day's board is kept permanently. Add `?date=YYYY-MM-DD` for one day: the response is the board captured that day, or the nearest earlier day within five days, with `date_requested` and `snapshot_date` added. For a range, `/history?ccy=USD&from=…&to=…` returns one row per day as JSON, CSV, XML or XLSX on paid plans. ### Do I need an API key? Yes. Commercial bank boards need an API key; any plan works, the free key included, and each call counts against the plan. Public pages or widgets that show the rates need a visible link to allratestoday.com. ## Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank Egypt rates, as JSON Free API key, hourly board captures, the official rate alongside.
