Bank cards in Hong Kong SAR

    Hi there,

    I'll be studying in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology next year and I am wondering how I can manage my bank account from Hong Kong. I currently have a Laser Maestro card with my bank and I do plan on using my card to obtain money while I am out there, but my question is will my Laser Maestro card actually work out in Hong Kong with the ATMs? I know lasers generally are renowned for not working in a lot of countries, so I just want to make sure it will work when I go out there, or will I have to get a new card?

    I have questioned my bank on this they've failed to give me a definitive answer. Many thanks in advance!

    I was in Hong Kong for a week two years ago and my AIB Laser Maestro worked in most ATMs. However, the amount of money I could take out each day was extremely limited (I can't remember exactly how much, maybe about €60 worth or thereabouts). If you are planning on paying a large-ish sum of money at once (like your rent for example), you may want to make other arrangements.
