Can you use us dollars in Hong Kong?

Answer 1

No - I'm an American who lived in Hong Kong for some time - it's purely Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) that are used there.

Easiest and cheapest way to get HKD is to go to an ATM at the airport when you arrive and withdraw money from your account. The bank will do the transfer to American Dollars at a much better rate than any money changers. All you need is a bank card that belongs to any of the ATM networks. NEVER use the money changers - they give the worst possible rates - AMEX or the small ones you see throughout Asia.

I traveled extensively and used my Bank ATM card to get money everywhere. It's simple.

The HKD is about 7 to a USD.

Answer 2

Most businesses will not accept United States Dollars (USD) as payment. It is advisable to find a currency exchange to obtain Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). On the other hand, most businesses in Hong Kong will accept Chinese Yen, and vice versa, due to their relatively similar exchange rates.
