Track EGP (Egyptian Pound) International Payments
Egyptian Pound (EGP) is the currency of Egypt, issued by the Central Bank of Egypt. Track any EGP cross-border SWIFT payment free with Ohmyfin — paste your UETR or bank reference to see the live status.
Details
EGP settles via the CBE RTGS. Cross-border EGP is partly restricted; many wires use USD with FX through Egyptian correspondents (CIB, NBE).
Typical processing time: 2-4 business days due to CBE FX rules.
On a SWIFT MT103, the EGP amount appears in field 32A together with the value date. The currency code is part of the ISO 4217 standard, so "EGP" means the same thing in every bank in the world.
If your EGP payment is missing or stuck, the most common reasons are correspondent-bank cut-off times, sanctions screening on the beneficiary or originator, or a missing field on the MT103 (purpose-of-payment, beneficiary address). Ohmyfin shows you exactly where the payment is in the chain.
