Study abroad with HSBC International

Whether you're a parent wondering how much a study abroad costs, a student looking to study overseas or you've recently graduated, you can be confident you'll get the international banking support you need with HSBC.

Why study abroad with HSBC?

  • Manage all of your HSBC accounts in one place
    You'll be able to view all of your HSBC accounts with one log on and send instant free transfers between your account and your friends and family's HSBC accounts.
  • Transfer credit history to your new country
    Establish your credit history in your destination country, so you'll be more likely to be accepted for credit, such as an international student credit card or loan.
  • Open a bank account for international students before moving
    Open an HSBC account at home and overseas so you can access your money and manage your student loan, credit cards and other costs as soon as you arrive.
  • Premier in one country, Premier in all
    Extend your HSBC Premier account to your child, so they can enjoy the same Premier privileges wherever they're studying.
