Money changers in Hong Kong need a Money Service Operator licence from Customs and Excise, money lenders a licence under the Money Lenders Ordinance and pawnshops a pawnbroker's licence. The law caps the effective annual interest rate on loans at 48%; compare rates and all fees before borrowing and keep the contract, and compare exchange rates and fees before changing money. Before changing money, check whether the displayed rate is buying or selling and whether there is a fee, count your cash and ask for a receipt.

Causeway Bay is part of the Wan Chai District on Hong Kong Island. The island is steep, with many streets climbing the hillside; the Central–Mid-Levels escalator links Central with the Mid-Levels and the Peak Tram runs up to The Peak. Offices, malls and old neighbourhood shops sit side by side, restaurants are packed at the office lunch hour (roughly 13:00–14:00), and with parking scarce the MTR, tram or bus is usually easier than driving.
