According to findings from HSBC's International Citizens 2022-23 study1, 1 in 2 students don't know where to start to get set up in the country they want to study in, despite most students (83%) saying they're actively planning and researching their move. Banking in a new place can be daunting, but these 5 finance tips and support from your bank can help you worry less about your money so you can focus more on your studies.
We've put together international student resources and checklists for 4 countries that are popular with international students. These will give you a better idea of what you'll need to prepare, beyond bank accounts and money transfers, for a study abroad. This includes visa and passport information; healthcare facts; and mobile phone reminders.
You can pre-open an account abroad and we can have your ATM card ready ahead of time before the move.
You can transfer money near real-time at any time and from anywhere with Global Transfer, and manage your worldwide accounts with one single log on with Global View. If you're our Premier customer, the transfers will be free of charge.
