Money Transfers
There are several ways of transferring money from abroad . Amex in Sharia Qasr el-Nil will accept instant Moneygram transfers, or you can transfer money through Thomas Cook from any of their offices abroad. Most banks will transfer money by telex in two working days and charge US$3 for US$1000, regardless of charges paid at the sender's end. They will also usually only deal with their own branches or corresponding banks abroad. Banks include: Cairo Barclays International Bank (tel 354-2195, fax 355-2746, telex 92343 CABAR UN), opposite the AUC on Sharia Qasr al-Aini; The Bank of America at 106 Sharia Qasr al-Aini (tel 354-7788, fax 355-5023), with a good reputation for transfers from the US; Citibank, 4 Sharia Ahmed Pasha, Garden City (tel 355-1877, fax 355-7743, telex 92162 CITAR UN); Credit Suisse, 32 Sharia Haroun, Dokki (tel 348-4777, fax 348-5237, telex 94128 CSCA UN); Banque du Caire, 38 Sharia Abdel Khaliq Sarwat (tel 323-2439, fax 391-9080, telex 22898 BDCSR UN). If you wish to use money received at banks to buy travellers' cheques at Thomas Cook or Amex, you must produce a Certificate of Transaction (which you have to request at the issuing bank) rather than an ordinary exchange receipt, proving that your Egyptian currency was legally acquired.
