- International Needs Review
Should you need banking services overseas, we will conduct an International Needs Review for you, in order to identify practical solutions to ensure your financial needs will be taken care of both at home and abroad. - Pre-opening of overseas account
Our experts at the International Banking Centre can arrange to open overseas HSBC accounts for you before you even leave for your new country (subject to that country's terms and conditions or alternatively providing you with contact details of the HSBC International Banking Centre in your new country).
We can advise you of your new account number within 3 business days. Your account will be opened and your account pack, including an ATM Card and related Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) - will be ready within 10 business days. - Credit history transfer
To ensure your move is as smooth as possible, we can transfer your credit history from your originating country to assist access to credit facilities in the overseas country. (Please note it is only applicable in countries where HSBC Premier is offered and is subject to local statutory and regulatory requirements. Further information may be required and will be disclosed on application). - Personalised on-boarding services
A dedicated international Relationship Manager will be assigned to manage the entire process of establishing your accounts in the new country. Upon a successful transfer, a local Relationship Manager will contact you to ensure that you have settled in and to provide assistance wherever necessary.
