Convert Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) to US Dollar (USD)

When to use HKD → USD

HKD to USD trades in a narrow band (1 HKD ≈ 0.128 USD) thanks to the HKMA's currency-board peg. This stability makes Hong Kong's role as an international financial centre operationally simpler — dollar-denominated assets and HKD payments coexist without meaningful FX risk on the home leg. Periodic political and economic stress has tested the peg but never broken it. For tourists and remittance flows, the certainty of the rate eliminates one risk that affects every other emerging-Asian currency.

Where do these rates come from?

The European Central Bank publishes daily reference rates around 16:00 CET. Convertitive consumes them through the Frankfurter open data service and refreshes its cache every hour.

How often is the rate updated?

Up to once per hour, and only when the ECB itself has issued a new value. Over weekends and holidays the displayed rate stays at the previous business day's close.

Why isn't this the rate my bank quotes?

Mid-market rates are a benchmark; retail banks and card networks add a spread on every conversion to cover their costs and margin. Expect that spread to be 1–3 % on most card transactions and 0.4–0.8 % at large brokers.

Can I use this for accounting or invoicing?

Use it as a reference. For official accounting, most jurisdictions require a documented rate from a central bank or your tax authority (which often publish their own daily values).

What's a 'mid-market' rate?

The midpoint between the buying and selling prices that wholesale banks quote each other. It's the closest thing to a 'real' rate for an individual to compare against.
