Foreign Currency Accounts
Hold and manage currencies in Foreign Currency Accounts
You can open a Foreign Currency Account in most major currencies (account fees will vary). You will be able to make payments in the currency of the account without the need for currency conversion.
A Foreign Currency Account can be cheaper and easier than setting up and managing an account in a foreign country and it will be integrated with your business internet banking platform.
How do I get started? This is available to all HSBC Business customers. Speak with your Relationship Manager to open a Foreign Currency Account.
Get Rate
Get instant quotes on your payments with Get Rate
Get real-time exchange rates when making payments in most major currencies.
This gives you more control of your foreign exchange payments. View the rate before accepting and confirm the exchange rate at the same time as authorising the payment.
How do I get started? Get Rate is available in Digital Business Banking and HSBCnet. Speak with your Relationship Manager to get set up with Get Rate.
Pay like a local in multiple currencies with HSBC Global Wallet
HSBC Global Wallet allows you to open wallets in multiple currencies and then pay and receive like a local. Benefit from faster payments using local account details.
Maximise your visibility over your international business as you manage all your currencies in one place without the hassle of multiple accounts and logins.
This is currently available only to Business Internet Banking customers in the UK and to HSBCnet customers in the UK, US, Singapore, Malaysia and HK.
Make cross-border payments in 130+ currencies from a single operating account
Global Disbursements enables multiple cross-border payments at once with one seamless process including flexible file submission methods.
Consolidate payments to effectively reduce the number of foreign currency accounts your organisation needs to hold – saving money, streamlining reconciliation and gaining more control over cash flows.
How do I get started? Speak with your Relationship Manager or Global Markets Sales representative.
Beneficiary Self-Management
Make payments without holding beneficiary bank details
HSBC’s Beneficiary Self-Management (BSM) tool allows you to make domestic and cross-border payments without needing to capture, update and maintain beneficiary account data. BSM is a secure, easy to implement and efficient payment solution to deliver payments in multiple currencies from a single account. How do I get started? Speak with your Relationship Manager or Sales representative.

HSBC Get Rate allows you to view the real-time exchange rate before accepting. The HSBC Get Rate screen will appear automatically for eligible international payments at the final stage of authorising a transaction. In certain circumstances, HSBC Get Rate may not be available.
Yes, you can but HSBC Get Rate will only be available in some markets and only up until spot value dated transactions (current date +2 days). Otherwise, the payment instruction will be settled on the date you have input and the prevailing exchange rate applied.
All of our solutions are designed to make doing business internationally as seamless as possible. HSBC Get Rate is a simple and convenient solution to make international payments. If you send money abroad on a regular basis, a Foreign Currency Account can be a great solution as it is easier than setting up and managing an account in a foreign country. Global Wallet is a similar solution but allows you to easily open wallets in multiple currencies. Your Relationship Manager will be able to discuss these solutions with you.
