Is today's HKD/ILS rate good or bad?
The Hong Kong Dollar to Israeli Shekel mid-market rate shown above is the reference price before any provider adds fees or markup. It is not a guaranteed quote - your bank, card issuer, or transfer service will offer a different rate that includes their margin.
On a typical conversion, banks add 0.5-1.5% to this rate. The gap between the mid-market rate and what you actually receive is the real cost of converting - often larger than any flat fee. Because HKD/ILS is a pegged or near-pegged rate, the bank's exchange rate risk is minimal - but they still charge for the service. Focus on fees rather than timing.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to use a card or withdraw cash for Israeli Shekel?
For most travelers, a card with no foreign transaction fee is the simplest and cheapest option - provided you always choose to pay in Israeli Shekel (the local currency) rather than Hong Kong Dollar. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.
Why does HKD/ILS barely move?
The Hong Kong Dollar is pegged to the US Dollar within a narrow band of 7.75-7.85, maintained by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority since 1983. This linked exchange rate system means USD/HKD moves very little compared to free-floating pairs. For other currencies against HKD, the peg means the rate closely mirrors the USD rate.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
