You will be issued a Visa debit card that is linked to your transaction account. This card can be used to make purchases in stores, online and over the phone, wherever Visa is regularly accepted.

You can also make withdrawals or enquire about your account at 13,000+ ATMs across Australia without being charged a fee.
You can also set up recurring payments on your Visa debit card to pay bills easily.

International money transfers or sending money overseas to loved ones
Transferring money overseas is a service that is offered online and costs $20 to use regardless of the amount of money being transferred.
Using your HSBC card overseas
If you withdraw cash from an overseas ATM you will be charged $4.50 per transaction plus a currency conversion state below. Additional charges may also apply stemming from the issuing financial institution.

For transactions or withdrawals where currency must be converted, like when you shop online on a website that uses a currency other than AUD, you will be charged 3.00% of the Australian dollar amount for the service.

What if I'm not eligible to apply online or a non-resident?
If you're moving to Australia, please get in touch with HSBC Australia migrant services to set up your account today, so you can open them before you arrive. If none of the above situations apply to you, please contact HSBC Australia directly to discuss your options.
