**nayki** · March 10th, 2010 03:21 PM

Sirs pa help naman...

Saan ba nakakabili ng Hongkong dollar dito sa manila,iyong trusted na mapag bibilhan? Any recommendations?

Saka ano po ba mas ok sa Hongkong na magpapalit ng PESO to HK dollar or dito na lang bumili sa Manila? Kung sa Hong Kong san kaya okay magpapalit doon?

Thanks in advance!

kung may ticket ka na.. you can buy sa mga banko dito sa atin.. usually humihingi lang sila nang copy nang ticket..

better kung US$ na lang dalhin mo.. so US$ to Hongkong$

You can look for the nearest Banco De Oro branch.

paps kung wala kang makita(pero imposible)hehehe sa HK pwede mo na ipalit yung peso sa Hongkong Dollar...wag lang sa airport magpapalit lahat kasi mababa ang palitan dun...sa city like mongkok maraming nagkalat na palitan at ino-honor nila ang peso to HKD....HTH

Hmmm, AFAIK, banks can only exchange currency to their clients. So, pag di ka client dun sa bank branch na yun, they can't sell you any foreign currency. Also, you just can't walk into any bank and buy USD, kailangan may FCDU license yung banko para di ma-penalize ng BSP.

As a last resort, marami namang money changers. Mas mataas nga lang ng konti yung palitan nila, pero its negligible naman kung below USD 500 lang ang bibilhin mo.

Personally, I buy my USD from Planters Bank (where I have an account).

Copied from Hong Kong For Dummies Thread

For the best exchange rates, first convert a small amount of your Peso to HKD in a local foreign exchange, then the rest to USD. Exchange your USD in HK to HKD in the recommended forex below.

The airport has a slightly lower exchange rate than other money changers in HK. Get the exchange rate of the airport, when you see a money changer that has a better rate than the airport, you do not have to go to the suggested money changer below.

PHP to HKD has a POOR exchange rate in HK so it's better to bring USD if you plan to exchange abroad.

WING HOI Money changer
9B, Ground Floor, inside Mirador Mansion
58 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
(Reachable by MTR, Tsim Sha Tsui Station)
Office Hours: 8am to 8pm (7pm if there are no more customers)
Average Rate of Winghoi: 7.7HKD +/- a few cents for 1USD

Alternative for those going to Worldwide House or those bringing Peso:

Frankie Exchange Co. - Shop 144, 1F, Worldwide House

FOR THE BEST RATES, BRING US DOLLARS.

what i usually do and what i'd recommend is just buying USD in Manila then changing that to HKD after landing. but don't exchange in the airport lugi ka sa rates dun.
