• Use multi-currency cards like YouTrip to save on fees and get competitive HKD rates

Do You Still Need Cash in Hong Kong?

Yes, while Hong Kong is largely card-friendly, cash is still commonly used — especially at small eateries, street markets, local taxis, and older establishments.

Having some HKD on hand is a good idea for convenience and emergencies.

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.
