Why Buy Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) Before You Travel

Buying your Hong Kong Dollars before you fly is always the better option. Airport bureaux de change and hotel exchange desks consistently offer poor rates compared to specialist providers, while withdrawing cash from Hong Kong ATMs with a UK card means paying foreign transaction fees and unfavourable conversion rates. Having HKD ready from the moment you land means you can pay for transport, food and experiences immediately without any stress or inconvenience. While Hong Kong is a card friendly city, cash remains essential for local markets, street food stalls, smaller shops and tipping throughout your stay.

Cash remains useful for:

  • Tipping in restaurants and hotels
  • Taxes and ride services
  • Small purchases
  • Emergencies

About the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)

The Hong Kong Dollar (currency code: HKD, symbol: $) is the official currency of Hong Kong and one of the most traded currencies in Asia. The HKD has been pegged to the US Dollar since 1983 under a linked exchange rate system, maintaining a stable rate of approximately 7.75 to 7.85 HKD per USD. This peg makes the Hong Kong Dollar one of the most stable currencies in the region, with exchange rate movements primarily driven by fluctuations in the GBP to USD rate. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 HKD, with coins available in 10 cents, 20 cents, 50 cents, 1, 2, 5 and 10 HKD. For most everyday spending, 100 and 500 HKD notes are the most practical.
