How we can help you?

As an HSBC Premier customer, you receive the best we have to offer. Exceptional people, the best service and preferential rates. With your own relationship manager and 24-hour Phone and Internet Banking service, you are in control, no matter where in the world you are.

Take a look at some of these unique International Services designed particularly for you:

• If you already are a Premier customer in Qatar, you will automatically receive the Premier service and all its benefits in your new country.
• We can get your overseas Premier account up and running before you leave for your new country (subject to local terms and conditions).
• Instant access to credit cards with similar limits to those you currently enjoy with HSBC in the Qatar (subject to status, local laws and terms and conditions).
• Free* international transfers between your Premier accounts by Phone and Internet Banking, giving you simple and secure methods for transferring funds between accounts in up to 40 countries (provided a manual template is set up through the Qatar Call Centre).
• Fast, easy access to your accounts worldwide - at the cost of a local call by calling the local Premier call centre.
• We will undertake an International needs review with you before you move to make sure all your banking needs are covered.
• When you get to your new country, your local relationship manager will contact you to make sure all your banking facilities are running smoothly.
• We can also arrange to introduce you to our international banking specialists, where appropriate.

* Except for transfers in USD. Please refer to the Schedule of Charges on our Home Page.

When you are travelling, HSBC Premier provides worldwide family travel insurance, personal security travel advice for you and your family at home and abroad, 24 hour Global Emergency Services helpdesk, and our Global Concierge Services for restaurant and hotel reservations.

You can hold accounts in EURO, US dollars and all major currencies and you get commission-free purchase and sale of foreign currency and travellers cheques.

It's the backup you need for travel and living in your world.

If you are not a Premier customer, the International Banking Centre can still assist by providing the international services, available to you for a one-off fee of QAR 700 per account:

*Simply contact the local International Banking Centre on +974 438 2200, e-mail on ibcqatar@hsbc.com or refer assistance to the International Banking Centre in your home country. The one-off fee of QAR 700 is levied on a 'per account basis' upon receipt of completed account opening documents by the Qatar International Banking Centre.

If you wish to open 2 or more accounts simultaneously in different countries (e.g. France and Hong Kong), the account applications will be processed separately and hence the fee will be levied twice (i.e. QAR 1400).

*Apply Now

* The QAR 700 fee for Non-Premier customers is variable. It does not apply if the forms and other required documents are submitted physically to the receiving country directly. We can provide you with the details of our overseas branches. This fee is waived for all HSBC Premier customers.
