Exchange rates & conversion fees in Hong Kong
When withdrawing cash at Hong Kong ATMs, you might be asked whether you wish to withdraw in Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) or Singapore Dollars (SGD). Always choose HKD!
If you select SGD, the ATM applies Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which gives you a poor exchange rate with extra fees.
