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.

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.
