Frequently asked questions

Is the Bank of China (Hong Kong) rate the official Hong Kong exchange rate?

No. Bank of China (Hong Kong) sets its own buying and selling rates and changes them through the day. The official rate is published once per business day by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority; it is shown in the Official column and is the figure accounting, tax and customs rules refer to.

Which Bank of China (Hong Kong) rate applies when I send money abroad?

The sell rate: you are buying foreign currency from the bank. When you convert foreign currency into HKD, the buy rate applies. Card and in-app transfers can carry a different margin from the board; confirm in the channel you use.
