What moves the USD/HKD rate
The USD leg
The dollar is the market's default safe haven, so it strengthens on risk-off sentiment as well as on Federal Reserve tightening — two drivers that can pull in the same direction at once.
The HKD leg
The Hong Kong dollar runs a linked exchange rate system, held within 7.75–7.85 to the US dollar, so HKD pricing is effectively dollar pricing.
Delivering HKD
HKD settles the same business day over Hong Kong's CHATS system, on Hong Kong rather than European business days.
USD/HKD questions
What is the USD/HKD exchange rate today?+
The mid-market USD/HKD rate is 7.8449, meaning 1 USD buys 7.8449 HKD. This is the rate banks quote each other, before any margin is added — it is the number to compare any quote against.
Why is the rate I am offered lower than the USD/HKD mid-market rate?+
USD/HKD is effectively a fixed rate — the peg holds it steady, so there is no market movement to price in. That makes this the clearest pair to compare providers on: the entire difference between two quotes is what each one is charging you, not what the market did.
How long does a payment in HKD take to arrive?+
HKD settles the same business day over Hong Kong's CHATS system, on Hong Kong rather than European business days.
Can I fix a USD/HKD rate for a future payment?+
Yes. A forward contract fixes today's rate for settlement up to 24 months ahead, which removes the risk of the rate moving between agreeing a price and paying it. That is common on property purchases and scheduled supplier payments.
