Yes it will, and I recommend HSBC. They let you convert your $ from HKD to any other currency at its current exchange rate + withdraw free of charge. As long as HKD is the median currency.
Ex. FTP > USD > HSBC = HKG > GBP > withdraw = GBP <<< OK
FTP > USD > HSBC = HKG > GBP >X USD
FTP > USD > HSBC = HKG > GBP > HKG > USD > withdraw = USD << OK
CNY & HKD has a better future then USD imo, might as well keep it in the bank as an appreciating currency.
