What is HSBC Everyday Global Account?
Are you an avid traveller? Or are you thinking of furthering your studies abroad? Travelling overseas can be such a hassle without proper planning, but with HSBC Everyday Global Account; spending using foreign currencies couldn't be much easier!
This all-in-one multicurrency savings account lets you have the financial peace of mind to your everyday banking and purchasing needs - here in Malaysia and abroad.
So, how does it work? Tell me more!
It's very simple. When in Malaysia, you can make purchases locally using Malaysian Ringgit. Just swipe or transact and you're good to go.
When you want to purchase something let's say from Amazon.com, you can pay for the items in foreign currency as well.
For example, if you have chosen a USD500 item from the website, bank will deduct the amount in USD from your HSBC Everyday Global Account - with no hidden charges.
However, if you don't have sufficient amount of foreign currencies in your account, the bank will convert it automatically and charged the items in MYR instead.
Meanwhile for existing HSBC Premier and HSBC Advance customers, you can withdraw or transact automatically in foreign currencies with ZERO overseas transaction fees.
