   **Retail board rates.** These are the prices HSBC Hong Kong displayed on [its own rates page](https://www.hsbc.com.hk/investments/products/foreign-exchange/currency-rate/) when we last read it. They are indicative, change through the day, and are not official rates.

## About HSBC Hong Kong

 [www.hsbc.com.hk](https://www.hsbc.com.hk/)

HSBC is one of Hong Kong’s three note-issuing banks. Its currency-rate page lists TT and bank-note buy/sell rates for about 12 currencies against the Hong Kong dollar, each with its own last-update time.

## ![](https://flagcdn.com/24x18/hk.png) Latest board, read 21 Oct 2026, 09:10 Hong Kong time (0h ago)

Bank’s own last-updated stamp: **2026-10-21 08:44:52 +0800** (as printed on its page, local time).

Board shown: **TT buy / sell**. Banks outside the Gulf publish several boards for the same currency — counter notes, drafts, transfers, cards — and this page shows one of them, the same one for every bank in Hong Kong so the comparison is like for like. The others are on the bank’s own page.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the HSBC Hong Kong rate the official Hong Kong exchange rate?

No. HSBC 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 HSBC 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.

### How current is this table?

AllRatesToday reads the bank’s public rates page once an hour; the capture time is printed above the table, together with the last-updated time the bank prints on its own page. Rates may have changed since.
