Mid-market rates, explained

The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices on global currency markets, the fairest benchmark for any conversion. Banks, airports and transfer apps quote a worse retail rate and keep the difference as their margin. Use the figure on this page as your baseline, then compare what your provider actually offers in British pounds.

Fees your provider will not show you

This converter shows the pure mid-market rate with zero markup, which is exactly what your bank will not quote you. A typical retail spread adds 2 to 5 percent on top, so converting 1,000 HKD at a 3 percent spread quietly costs 30 HKD of value. Compare the mid-market figure here against your provider's final British pounds amount to see the real cost.
