Moving from the United States

Your big move can be easier with HSBC

If you're planning or considering a move outside of the U.S., or have a home abroad, your HSBC relationship can help you save time and effort. For HSBC Premier clients, many of these services are complimentary. We can help you to move your finances to over 60 countries and territories worldwide. Our International Banking Center will provide you with global financial relocation services including:

  • An international needs review. We can examine all of your banking needs while you are living abroad, and help you plan, so you can be prepared in advance.
  • Overseas account opening. We can assist you in opening your bank accounts before you leave the U.S., subject to local terms and conditions.1
  • Checkbooks, bank cards, credit cards and PINs. If you give us enough notice we can have these materials sent to you before you change countries. Alternatively, you can receive them 10 business days, from account opening, after arriving in your new country as an HSBC Premier client, and 20 business days, from account opening, with another HSBC relationship.
  • HSBC credit cards. Your new cards can have similar limits to those you currently hold with HSBC (subject to status, credit approval, local laws and terms and conditions).
  • HSBC Credit history transfer. You can experience a seamless transfer of your eligible HSBC credit history to other HSBC offices in countries that the HSBC Group currently does business in.

Consider the benefits of an HSBC relationship. If you're not already a client, call 877.850.4722, apply for HSBC Premier now or consider all your HSBC banking choices.
