Hong Kong SAR accounts: mid-market rate available in Get Rate and Preview exchange rate screens in July

Last updated: 31 May 2021

Starting in July 2021, we’ll be introducing the mid-market rate in HSBCnet’s Get Rate and Preview exchange rate screens for HSBC accounts in Hong Kong. The mid-market rate helps you assess the currency conversion rate offered for your payments and transfers.

What’s the mid-market rate?

The mid-market rate indicates the midpoint between the prevailing rates at which HSBC could buy or sell one currency against another in the interbank market. It’s based on the exchange rate market for each currency we offer, so it fluctuates in accordance with market conditions.

We provide this rate for information purposes only, as it does not include our risk appetite, the costs, and charges we incur when conducting the transaction, or our commercial return.

Here’s an example of what the new screen will look like:
