Usually, the online prices of the travel money suppliers in France, are more interesting than those you find by changing directly in one of their offices.

So Comparer Devise advises you to carry out a rate comparison when if you need HK dollars. And afterwards either book online to pick up the currency at a branch of the currency exchange providers near you or to order them online selecting home delivery as delivery alternative.

Finding the best exchange rate for the euro with respect to the HKDs every day in France, is simple.

Firstly, we advise you to not pay attention the prices of the currency converters that appear on the Internet. These rates are for foerign currency but not for banknotes. Additionally, they are restricted to banks. The rates you give out as a consumer are less appealling.

The second thing you should do is look at the direct euro to Hong Kong Dollars exchange rate (that 0.991 with more or less digits that you see advertised everywhere and that varies constantly).

The higher that number is, the more HKDs you will be handed out for every Euro you bring.

Therefore, the best exchange rate will be the higher exchange rate. Comparer Devise makes it easy for you to find out the best euro to Hong Kong Dollars exchange rate. Our results page sorts Hong Kong Dollars offers from highest to lowest rate of the day in five currency suppliers, airports and banks in France.

Currency exchange is a business similar to many others: there are individuals who get their currency from a retail company (the one that sells us HKDs). These in turn adquire that currency from a wholesale company. The gap between what they have paid for HKDs and what they charge you is the profit margin they get.

However, in this currency exchange market, it may happen that the bank or currency provider will not buy the banknotes from a wholesale company, but instead acquires it from a customer that travels to France with HKDs.

In this case, in addition to making a profit for buying the notes from this individual, they impose on you another margin when they offer you the currency. Double win!

There is no worse or better moment to exchange euros to HKDs. All foreign currencies appreciate or depreciate all the time based on the other currencies they are measured against.

For that reason, when you intend buying HKDs, the most recommended thing you can do is carry on a previous price comparison on Comparer Devise.

foreign currency providers in France generally cap the maximum amount of foreign currency to be ordered (dollars, etc.) to between 3,000 and 6,000 € per calendar quarter. This is mandatory by the money laundering prevention regulations. If you have to change a larger amount of Euros to dollars, Comparer Devise recommends to speak directly with the currency provider. They might require from you additional documentation and proof of the source of your Euros (identity document, passport, certificate of professional activity, income statements, etc.).

In places like the the USA or the UK, it is usual to order foreign currency online. The customer who needs to purchase HKDs will go to a holyday money comparison service like Comparer Devise or directly to a travel money supplier and order online HKDs or any other currency he/she wants to acquire. These are secure websites (https), where you pay on a secure card payment gateway and you are delivered your travel money in hand a couple of days later.

Additionally, another option is to make an online reservation for HKDs and collect and pay for your booking at the till at the chosen supplier branch.

Where you are never interested in making a euro to Hong Kong Dollars exchange is at the airport. As with the bottle of water at the price of gold, the airport manager and the airport currency provider, divide the benefits of your exchange at the airport. As a rule, the more players that play in the travle money game the higher the rates to charge to people.

Literally all banks in France charge you a 3% fee, with a minimum (whichever is higher) amount between 6 and 10 euros.

The usual thing is that the currency provider where you will buy your HKDs will ask you to provide a valid and current identity document (resident´s ID card, carte nationale d´identité or passport in France). Take into account that your driver's license is not generally accepted as a valid identification document.

Contrarily banks do not generally request any documentation from their customers who buy HKDs because they already identified them when they opened a bank account with them.

After your trip, you can exchange your leftover HKDs at your nearest of the different currency supplier´s offices displayed on the Comparer Devise grid.

Afterwards click/tap on the Sell your currency tab and look for your exceeding currency and then enter the amount of Hong Kong Dollars notes you wish to exchange. Please do not introduce the value of loose change, because these suppliers will not admit them.

In France there are 3 places where you can purchase HKDs. You will probably think first of your bank. Still, French banks include an exchange rate to your HKDs together with a commission of 3%. This implies that, for example if you change 1000 euros to HKDs you will be charged a 30 € fee.

alternatively, your other option might be the airport at the last minute. Still, French airports are the most overpriced of all options because the foreign exchange providers located there, must pay part of their profits to the airport manager.

Currency suppliers located out of the airport in France are a much better option to buy HKDs with euros.
