HSBC with a formidable global reach and network has added a new feather

HSBC Bank USA has announced a new banking solution for NRIs, which allows
the NRI community in the U.S. to conduct cross-border banking transactions
and avail of different tailored deposit, mortgage and investment products.

The following features entail added advantage to the NRI customer:

  • It provides assistance with account opening with HSBC India while in the US, as well as in account opening with HSBC USA, while in India.
  • FastCheque – It allows free remittances to HSBC India from the US, at competitive exchange rates, by USD checks.
  • FastClick – It makes free remittances from the US to India possible through internet banking, whereby customers banking with both HSBC USA and HSBC India can remit monies to their NRI Accounts held with HSBC India, in a speedy and convenient manner.
  • It also helps NRIs in identifying a wide array of HSBC USA personal and commercial products.

The HSBC Limited in India offers a full range of banking and financial services to over 2.5 million customers through its 47 branches and 170 ATMs across 26 cities.

The new solution with HSBC USA is a step towards making the process more seamless.
