Welcome to Cathay. We're paid once a month (usually the 26th unless a weekend or holiday) so only one monthly transfer to worry about. The most cost effective seems to be to get a cashiers cheque from the HSBC and deposite it to your bank at home. Limited fees in Hong Kong (80 HKD?) and no fee at your North American Bank. HSBC give a better exchange rate than my bank at home as well. Good Luck.
