Hong Kong’s BEA unveils multi-currency debit card

It supports withdrawal at over 2.5 million access points worldwide.

Bank of East Asia (BEA) has launched a debit card in partnership with Mastercard that offers 24/7 real-time foreign exchange with zero transaction and handling fees, according to a press release.

The card supports 11 major currencies, with withdrawal supported at over 2.5 million access points worldwide, the Hong Kong-based bank said in a press release in October 2025.

Currencies supported include HKD, USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, JPY, AUD, CAD, NZD, SGD, and CHF.

Cardholders can switch between cash rebates and bonus points depending on their spending habits. They can also link it to BEA’s All-in-One Accounts, allowing transactions to be directly debited in the relevant currency or settled in HKD with automatic foreign currency conversion.

The card also offers real-time transaction alerts, customisable spending and withdrawal limits, and the ability to freeze or suspend the card instantly.
