Premium Exchange Rates
Exchange rates of foreign currencies to Hong Kong Dollar:
- Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) policies only accept HKD payment. For non-HKD policies, payments can be made in either the policy currency or HKD. The payment currency of non-HKD policies is subject to the terms and conditions of the individual payment methods. Please refer to the acceptable payment currencies for each payment method.
- If you paid for a foreign currency policy in HKD by non-cheque payment, the transaction amount will be settled at the applicable exchange rate on the transaction date and converted into the equivalent amount of policy currency (except autopay and cheque/cashier’s order/bank draft payment).
- If the premium is paid by HKD account through autopay, the transaction amount will be calculated in HKD equivalent based on the exchange rate of 3 business days (including Saturday) prior to the direct debit date.
