Saudi Riyal to Hong Kong Dollar
Saudi Riyal to Hong Kong Dollar (SAR/HKD)
This page converts the Saudi Riyal (SAR) used in Saudi Arabia into the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) used in Hong Kong. The current rate loads in your browser; type any amount into the converter above to see its value.
What moves the SAR/HKD rate
The Saudi Riyal is mainly influenced by a fixed peg to the US dollar of 3.75 riyals per dollar. The Hong Kong Dollar is mainly influenced by the Linked Exchange Rate System, which keeps the Hong Kong dollar between 7.75 and 7.85 per US dollar. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the SAR/HKD rate moves; when they move together, the rate tends to stay steadier.
How this rate is calculated
Rates are fetched from Frankfurter, which publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates (updated once per working day), and from ExchangeRate-API for currencies the ECB does not cover. All rates are stored against the euro, so the SAR/HKD figure is a cross rate: the euro value of HKD divided by the euro value of SAR. These are indicative mid-market reference rates and may differ from the rates offered by banks, card issuers and payment providers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert SAR to HKD?
Enter an amount in Saudi Riyal and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily SAR/HKD reference rate to show the value in Hong Kong Dollar. To go the other way, HKD to SAR, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the SAR to HKD rate come from?
Rates come from Frankfurter, which republishes daily European Central Bank reference rates, with ExchangeRate-API filling in currencies the ECB does not publish. They are cached in your browser for up to an hour.
Is this the SAR to HKD rate my bank will give me?
No. These are mid-market, indicative rates. Banks, card providers and transfer services usually add a margin or fee, so the Hong Kong Dollar you actually receive is typically a little lower.
