I hope this is the right forum for this post. 

I have deposited some Hong Kong dollars into my HSBC HK bank account and need to exchange this money into GBP. 

I would be interested to know whether there is another bank / other options which offers a better exchange rate than HSBC UK?  I have read that revolut and wise are better but I have no experience with them.
