There is no need for a permanent UK address. HSBC Passport has an initial fixed term of 12 months and is renewable monthly afterwards. It also provides essential facilities like a 24-hour advice line, easy money transfer, preloaded international SIM card and relocation support in eight languages.

Glenn Chapman - Australia

"Opening an account in the UK can be a small nightmare, but with HSBC it was quick and easy. I had everything done for me. Even my IBAN (International Bank Account Number) was explained and how I could make overseas payments. It was easier than opening an account back home."

Suzie Smith - New Zealand

"The Passport account...it's a really good idea. It was very useful when I first came over to the UK. I had nothing in terms of the paperwork and history of addresses to get a regular account and I would have been stuck otherwise."
