1. Receive different currency into your domestic account.

If you receive money in a different currency, HSBC will automatically convert those funds into your account currency on receipt.

This makes it easy for your business to receive international payments straight away.

How do I get started? This is available to all business customers by default. Just provide your regular account details to the person making the payment.

2. Open a Foreign Currency Account.

You can open a Foreign Currency Account in most major currencies (account fees will vary). You will be able to receive 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 internet banking platform.
