Telephone banking and online banking are readily available at most Hong Kong banks and the services are usually free of charge. Lots of telephone services operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
You can use online and telephone banking to pay utility bills or government fines. Mobile banking services are also available – just ask your bank of choice for further details.
Moreover, you can sign up with the local service called PPS – a 24-hour bill payment solution that allows you to pay your bills via internet or phone. To become a customer, you need to register at one of the PPS terminals available all over Hong Kong. For more information, check the PPS website.
There is a minor drawback to telephone and online banking in Hong Kong: Money transfers are not free of charge. Normally, you can only transfer money without paying fees if the recipient has an account with the same bank as the sender. You can expect for an interbank transfer to cost you about 200 HKD (25 USD). This is the main reason many expats start using checks while living in Hong Kong.
ATMs in Hong Kong
ATMs are located all over the city. Often, they can be used for more than just withdrawing cash. For example: paying bills or depositing checks or cash.
There are three ATM networks in Hong Kong: ETC (HSBC and Hang Seng Bank), JETCO (all other banks), and AEON. Using an ATM is free of charge if you withdraw from an ATM whose network your own bank belongs to. Otherwise, you pay a service charge.
