Your children will enjoy preferential rates of interest up until the age of 25.

Children of Premier customers will also be recognised in any HSBC branch globally, providing the reassurance of a global safety net, offering access to the same emergency services that you would receive when travelling abroad.

In addition, as soon as your children reach 18 years of age, you can offer them an extension of your Premier status, giving them the opportunity to enhance their lives and enjoy Premier benefits up until the child is 28 years of age.

International

Your bank around the world

Exploring the world out there inevitably involves an element of the unknown – isn't that one reason why we do it? But a little extra peace of mind never goes amiss.

That's why wherever you are in the world, whether you are travelling for business or leisure, as an HSBC Premier customer you will always be sure of a warm welcome, emergency priority service, and unrivalled local support. And the same goes for your family.

HSBC is the leading Bank in this field, and possesses the globally linked-up capabilities of HSBC Premier.

International recognition and emergency services

Walk into any of HSBC's branches anywhere in the world, show them your HSBC Premier card, and you'll immediately be made to feel at home.

It can happen to anyone. A lost wallet. A stolen handbag. That sinking feeling when all that’s left is the loose change in your pocket. If it happens to you, all you need to do is walk into any branch displaying the HSBC sign, anywhere in the world, and identify yourself. Or call the dedicated 24/7 Premier Customer Service on +(356) 2148 9100. It’s your emergency financial lifeline. Either way, you’ll get immediate access to a range of HSBC Premier emergency services. Additionally, if you lose your cash or cards we will support you to have access to US$2,000 from your nearest branch of HSBC. You may need to convert this into your required currency at your own cost.

A bank account may well be the last thing on your mind when you move to a new country, but it’s one of the first things you’ll need for all those necessities like a phone, electricity, water, a car.

That is why we support you to open a local HSBC Premier Account in the most efficient way.

Wealth Planning

A personalised service built around your needs

We will assist you with your new account and have everything in place, that is, your cards, your cheque book, your PIN numbers and any other banking needs.

Naturally you'll be able to do the same for your family, according to their needs.

And we won't charge you a single cent extra in the process.

Premier status

As an HSBC Premier customer, you can expect exactly the same level of recognition and service that you're used to at home.

Linked-up banking means that it's not just your name that will be transferred to your new account; the credit history that you've built up will be transferred too.

And with your account already sorted before you arrive, you'll be able to sign contracts for all those things that involve them like gas, electricity, and mobile phones and get on with your new life.

Helping you plan for the future

Whether you're relocating because of your work or buying that dream holiday home in the sun, linked-up banking means you can tap into HSBC Premier's network of on-the-ground expertise.

You'll easily be able to get hold of someone at HSBC who has first–hand knowledge of the local property market, and who can talk you through the ins and outs of the buying process and the options available.

Banking without borders

Having bank accounts in the same name in multiple countries or regions used to mean all the inconvenience of being treated like two different people, especially when you wanted to move your money around.

With HSBC Premier, however, although you will have separate HSBC accounts in separate countries/regions (and, very likely, in different currencies), you can transfer funds between them instantly. And all this is done for free through online banking.

Bird's eye view banking

However many HSBC accounts you have, in however many countries/regions, you'll be able to access most of them with Global View.

One single consolidated bird's eye view, with one single password.

From anywhere in the world, you can access, view and manage all your accounts in one session. And you can make fee-free transfers in real time, rather than wait days for the funds to move.

Your dedicated Premier contact

Wherever you find yourself, you will have your assigned Premier Relationship Manager or someone from our dedicated 24/7 Premier Customer Service team on hand to be your local contact and to help get you started and settled in.

On top of that, we will be able to offer you all their local expertise and insight in matters like the local property market, education and investments.
