Currency of Payouts
All the earnings that the agency book to the models are usually in Egyptian Pounds.
Overview
Exchange rates in Egypt remain volatile. As of late 2025, the official USD‑EGP rate in banks is around 47.3 EGP per USD. At the same time, the parallel (black‑market) rate is also in a similar range, roughly 46.5 – 49 EGP per USD. These fluctuations are driven by continuous pressure on USD supply in the local market, and they affect how we convert and pay out currencies.
Implications
As an agency, we work hard to secure USD for models and mother agents, but the rate we use is based on what is realistically available and fair in the current market.
Because USD supply and black‑market rates change often, it’s difficult to predict exactly which rate will apply until payout is processed.
For other payouts, we will apply our internal “agency rate” when converting from EGP to USD or vice versa, depending on availability and market conditions.
Options
In any payout the model can opt to:
1- Getting the full payout amount in USD, with the exchange rate presented by the agency (Agency Exchange Rate)
2- Getting the full payout amount in EGP and the Model will be fully responsible to exchange currency by their self
3- Procure partial of the payout amount in EGP and the other part in USD. However the total amount has to be equivalent to the Egyptian payout amount and Agency Exchange Rate.
For MA:
The MA takes a percentage of the EGP earning so we can charge in EGP or take equivalent in dollars on the date of execution according to black market rate referenced in the document.
The situation is unfolding as the global economies shifting - we are working to provide our best in the Egyptian Market.
