Citibank CAD to HKD Exchange Rates - Compare & Save

Citibank Money Transfer

Citibank's exchange rates for wire transfers are generally competitive and transparent, which makes it a good choice for customers who need to send or receive money internationally. However, it's always a good idea to compare rates and fees across different banks and financial institutions to ensure you're getting the best deal possible.

FX Order Watch: Citibank's FX Order Watch allows customers to set their own exchange rates and automatically execute foreign exchange transactions when the desired exchange rate is reached.

When you get a quote for your Citibank Wire Transfer from their website or in-app, you will see the Citibank exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much mark-up you are being charged.

While all banks charge this mark-up, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.

How do Citibank international wire exchange rates compare?

Sending or receiving international transfers to or from your Citibank bank account will include a margin rate of between 3.5% to 8% – this is much higher than most money transfer broker rates (which are normally 0.5 to 1.5%).

Forecasts for CAD to HKD

21 MayThe exchange rate forecast for the Canadian dollar (CAD) to Hong Kong dollar (HKD) indicates a mixed outlook influenced by recent developments in both economies. The CAD recently gained strength due to higher-than-expected Canadian inflation, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising from 2.2% to 2.5%. Despite these positive inflation signals, falling oil prices have introduced some resistance to the CAD’s potential growth. Analysts note that the CAD is heavily influenced by commodity prices, particularly oil, since Canada is a significant oil exporter. The current oil price stands at $65.38, which is 4.4% below its three-month average, and this volatility suggests that any further decline in oil could weigh on CAD's strength.

How to get a good CAD to HKD exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to Hong Kong dollar:

Shop around for the best CAD/HKD exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
Timing is important: Keep an eye on the CAD/HKD rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both CAD and HKD at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Hong Kong dollar with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/HKD exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
