Exchange rates

For immediate transfers in online, mobile and phone banking, we provide live exchange rates which are updated every 90 seconds between:

• the opening of the Hong Kong market on Monday morning local time
• the closure of the New York market on Friday afternoon local time
• Live rates won't be available on public holidays or if we have to close unexpectedly.
• Transfers made outside live rate hours will be based on the most recent exchange rates from the close of business the previous day and will include an additional premium.
• If you're setting up the transfer for a later date, the exchange rate will be the rate that applies at the time of the transfer.
• Our exchange rate margins are tiered, so better foreign exchange rates are available for higher transfers.

If you need to convert currency on a regular basis, you can fix your exchange rate in advance. You can also get enhanced pricing if you convert large amounts of currency each year. For further details, speak to your Relationship Manager.
