Our solutions

Get instant quotes on your payments with Get Rate

Get real-time exchange rates when making payments in most major currencies.

This gives you more control of your foreign exchange payments. View the rate before accepting and confirm the exchange rate at the same time as authorising the payment.

How do I get started? Get Rate is available in Digital Business Banking and HSBCNet. Speak with your Relationship Manager to get set up with Get Rate.

Pay like a local in multiple currencies with Global Wallet

Global Wallet allows you to open wallets in multiple currencies and then pay and receive like a local. Benefit from faster payments using local account details.

Maximise your visibility over your international business as you manage all your currencies in one place without the hassle of multiple accounts and logins.

This is currently only available to HSBCNet customers in the United Kingdom, United States, Singapore and Malaysia.

Hold and manage currencies in Foreign Currency Accounts

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

How do I get started? This is available to all HSBC Business customers. Speak with your Relationship Manager to open a Foreign Currency Account.


Having a Foreign Currency Account means I can control the FX conversion and exposure myself. I find it seamless working with the HSBC FX Team and using the Evolve online platform. The people provide an excellent service and the Evolve platform is excellent – I can’t praise their overall FX service enough.
