If you like 1:1, I will give you a 1:1 ratio on your US dollars to HKG dollars too.
Conversion at a 1:1 rate is only good if the item you are getting is worth at least the value of what you give up, and in this case, they are not.
I see. Anyways, after looking into it some more, the transfer is not simple since one of the programs in the middle only allows a 25k Max per year.
