How a Global Money account works

You add money from the HSBC account that you have linked to your Global Money account. You can do this by logging on via the HSBC Mobile Banking App and selecting which account the money will be transferred from.

When you're ready to make a transaction, you'll have the choice of sending to your own HSBC account or to someone else's HSBC account. 

Your maximum daily limit is:

  • USD200,000 to your own HSBC accounts
  • USD50,000 to any other HSBC accounts

You'll be able to chose which currency you want to use, and you'll see the exchange rate (if you've chosen to send in a foreign currency). The exchange rate you'll get is live during trading market opening hours. When markets are closed, it's based on the most up-to-date market rate.

The HSBC Digital Security Device is integrated with the app and uses two-factor authentication to provide an added layer of protection.
