Hi,
I came to Hong Kong from Sydney Australia and have been looking to find an equivalent of Citi's debit card product here in HK.

Basically how it works is, you just load up your Citi account with money, travel overseas and find a Citi ATM overseas (plenty around key spots in SouthEast Asia, Europe and obviously US) and withdraw cash in your destination currency. The rates are always fantastic and there are no extra fees or commission charged by Citi. It saves heaps of trouble because if you travel to multiple destinations you don't want to be carrying excessive USDs or carry 3-4 different currencies.
So I've checked with a few banks here (Citi, HSBC, Standard Chartered) and they all thought I was bluffing and no such product would ever exist.
Has anyone come across anything similar in HK?
Thanks in advance!
