Make international transfers online with a low, flat-rate fee
If you need to send money overseas, HSBC offers you the easy way to make international transfers to wherever you want, whenever you want for a low fee.
Enjoy a low, competitive foreign exchange transfer fee of $8* for online transfers, or $20 in branch for any amount you wish to send. And, with our competitive Real Time Exchange Rates1 that refresh every 20 seconds, you can be confident that you're getting the most up-to-date rate on any money you send.
International transfer timings
Please note that international transfers generally take 1-3 business days, depending on the regulations and controls of the receiving country and bank.
When you transfer funds from HSBC Australia to another HSBC account overseas in the currency of the receiving country, the funds will generally be available the same business day, depending what time of day the transfer is made.
Other international transfer fees
Correspondent (intermediary) banks will usually charge a fee for the processing and clearing of an international transfer. These fees will vary, depending on the receiving country. They are not included in the international transfer fee (Telegraphic Transfer fee) that you pay us. You can choose to either have the recipient pay the correspondent bank fees by deducting the fees from the transfer amount, or pay HSBC an upfront fee of AUD30 to cover these additional fees.
