You can click any country to see its currency, compare up to 3 currencies side-by-side, and explore purchasing power indexes like the Big Mac Index, Latte Index, and more. Rates are for informational purposes only and are not transaction quotes.

How often are exchange rates updated?

Reference exchange rates refresh approximately every hour from the European Central Bank (ECB) and other open data APIs. The data covers 161 fiat currencies, major cryptocurrencies, and precious metals. See /methodology for details on data sources, update cadence, and limitations.

What are purchasing power indexes?

Purchasing power indexes compare the real cost of everyday items across countries. FXMap tracks six indexes: Big Mac, Latte, Taxi Ride, Coca-Cola, Movie Ticket, and Gasoline. These show what your money actually buys in different countries, beyond just the exchange rate.

How many currencies does FXMap cover?

FXMap covers 161 fiat currencies from 180+ countries, plus major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. You can compare any currency against any other using reference rates and 30-day trend charts.

Yes. Select a base currency, then use the comparison feature to add up to 3 currencies. You'll see reference exchange rates, 30-day sparkline trends, percentage changes (1-day, 7-day, 30-day), and purchasing power comparisons across all six indexes.

Tips for Getting the Best HKD Rate

Practical advice for exchanging Hong Kong Dollar.

📈Monitor trends before exchanging

Check the 30-day HKD trend chart on FXMap. If HKD has been strengthening, you may want to exchange sooner. If it's weakening, waiting could save you money.

✈️Avoid airport and hotel exchanges

Currency exchange counters at airports and hotels typically charge 5-15% markups. Use online providers, bank transfers, or fee-free travel cards instead.

⏰Exchange during market hours

Forex markets operate 24/5 (Mon-Fri). Rates are most competitive during overlapping trading sessions. The London-New York overlap (1-5 PM UTC) typically has the tightest spreads.

🔔Set up price alerts

Use FXMap to set alerts for your target HKD rate. You'll be notified when the rate crosses your threshold, so you can exchange at the right moment.

🌍Consider the direction of travel

If you're traveling to a country, compare the purchasing power — not just the exchange rate. A weaker currency doesn't always mean less buying power if local prices are lower.

💰Split large exchanges

For large amounts, consider splitting into 2-3 exchanges over a few weeks. This averages out rate fluctuations and reduces the risk of exchanging at a peak or trough.
