At HSBC Expat we know moving overseas is complicated, but expat banking doesn't have to be. 

 

HSBC Expat provides a central place to hold and manage your money with international reach in up to 19 different currencies, making local everyday banking easy, wherever you are in the world.

 

A smooth transition to a new host location is key to the success of an international assignment. You can ensure assignees’ bank accounts are in place prior to their arrival of their Expat destination. Subject to customers being located in a complaint country prior to their departure to their host country, customers can open and pre-fund their account.
