Smart Tips for Exchanging Hong Kong Dollars
Compare exchange rates before selling HKD
Always check rates from multiple exchangers or banks to find the best HKD to AUD (or other currency) rate. Even a small difference can make a noticeable impact, especially with larger amounts.
Avoid airport and hotel exchange desks
These locations usually offer weaker HKD rates and higher margins. Planning ahead helps you avoid losing value at last-minute counters.
Choose providers with no hidden fees
Look for clear, upfront pricing. A good HKD rate isn’t helpful if service charges or commissions reduce what you actually receive.
Sell during favorable market movements
HKD exchange rates can fluctuate due to market and regional factors. If you’re not in a hurry, keep an eye on trends and exchange when conditions are more favorable.
Use trusted, well-reviewed money exchangers
Stick to licensed and reputable providers. Strong reviews and a solid track record help ensure accurate counting, fair rates, and a safe transaction.
Limits & Restrictions
Minimum Amounts
There is no minimum amount when selling Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). Whether you have a few notes or a larger sum, we’re happy to exchange it.
Maximum Amounts
We can handle large HKD transactions. For higher-value exchanges, we may request valid ID, conduct a brief source-of-funds check, or ask for a short wait while your payout is prepared. This is standard practice for licensed and regulated money exchangers in Australia.
Selling HKD Worth $10,000 AUD or More
If your HKD exchange is $10,000 AUD equivalent or above, please bring valid identification and allow extra time for compliance checks.
To ensure smooth processing:
-
Call ahead to confirm cash availability
-
For larger payouts, bank transfer or PayID is often the fastest and safest option
Where to Sell Hong Kong Dollars in Australia
Selling Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) in Australia is quick, safe, and straightforward with Danesh Exchange. Follow these simple steps to get the best value for your currency.
If you’re wondering where to sell HKD in Australia, you generally have three main options:
Banks
Some banks may accept Hong Kong Dollars, but they are rarely the most cost-effective option. Buy-back rates are often low, processing can be slow, and additional service or handling fees may apply. While banks feel familiar, they usually do not offer competitive HKD-to-AUD rates, especially for cash exchanges.
Specialist Currency Exchange Providers
Specialist exchangers like Danesh Exchange are often the best choice for selling HKD. They offer:
- Competitive HKD exchange rates
- No hidden fees
- Fast, friendly service
- Reliable availability for both small and large amounts
Whether you’re selling a small bundle of notes or a higher-value amount, Danesh Exchange makes it simple to sell HKD in Australia at a fair price.
Airport Kiosks
Airport exchange counters may accept foreign currency, but HKD is often excluded or exchanged at extremely poor rates. Even when accepted, airport kiosks typically apply very high margins, meaning you receive far less AUD than you would at a specialist exchanger. While convenient, airports are not recommended for selling Hong Kong Dollars.
What Hong Kong Dollar Notes We Accept
The Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) is the official currency of Hong Kong and is used for all everyday transactions across the territory.
While HKD is primarily used in Hong Kong, it is commonly exchanged by travellers, expatriates, and businesses dealing internationally. Outside Hong Kong, HKD is typically exchanged through specialist currency exchangers rather than banks.
Locally, the currency is simply referred to as the “Hong Kong dollar” or “HKD”. Cash remains the dominant payment method in many areas.
HKD Banknote Denominations
Hong Kong Dollar banknotes currently in circulation include: 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1,000 HKD
These are the standard notes used in circulation. Keeping your HKD notes sorted by denomination helps ensure faster counting and smoother transactions, especially when exchanging larger amounts or visiting busy exchange counters.
Old and damaged banknotes
We only accept Hong Kong Dollar banknotes that are currently in circulation. Notes that are too old, heavily damaged, or discontinued may not be accepted. Our team will assess them on the spot and guide you on the best next steps.
