Can I use my bank card in Hong Kong?

Certainly, you can use your bank card in Hong Kong. However, it’s smart to have a mix of cash and card. Smaller places and market stalls prefer cash, while large shops and restaurants gladly accept cards.

Tip: Always inform your bank about your travel plans to avoid any card issues while abroad.

Should I bring cash to Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is increasingly adopting cashless payments, but cash is still useful for smaller transactions. ATMs are widespread, so getting cash when you need it is easy.

Maintaining a balance of cash and card payments is wise in Hong Kong. Use cash for minor purchases and save the card for bigger spends.

Manor FX can convert your leftover HKD back to pounds sterling if you have surplus Hong Kong dollars after your trip.

Most shops, restaurants, and attractions in Hong Kong accept credit and debit cards. However, it’s advisable to have cash for smaller buys and places that don’t take cards.

Here are different budget levels to give you an idea of what you might spend:

If you’re backpacking, expect to spend about 315-475 HKD (£32-£48). This budget works if you’re bunking in hostels, using public transport, and sticking to low-cost activities like museum visits.

With a mid-range budget of 785-1,215 HKD (£80-£123) daily, you can enjoy stays in modest hotels, bus travel, convenient fast food, and a few extra adventures.

For those looking to indulge in luxury, 2,650 HKD (£269) a day will cover upscale hotels, private drivers or rideshares, guided tours, and dining out for every meal.

In short, Hong Kong welcomes everyone, no matter your budget. Whether you’re keeping costs low or treating yourself, you’ll find plenty to love about this dynamic city.

Is Hong Kong an expensive city?
