Things you should know

Before making a payment, you'll need to have your HSBC account number and sort code to hand. You'll also need the following information about the receiver:
their full name, their full postal address, their International Bank Account Number (IBAN) or account number / BSB number (where the destination country does not use IBANs), their bank sort code, their bank's SWIFT BIC code and their bank's intermediary SWIFT BIC Code

Payments will be routed overseas using this information. Incorrect or invalid information may lead to the payment being delayed or rejected by the overseas bank. In such cases, because of charges and differences in exchange rates, you may not receive the full amount back.

Please also take the time to read the following as applicable to your account:
