Seamless international banking

Your children can open a Premier Bank account in their new country/region, while still living in Singapore.

With an Premier Bank account, they'll receive a debit card, supplementary credit card and cheque book, all before their big move, for stress-free packing. So, they can access their money as soon as they arrive in their new country/region.

And they'll have a dedicated Relationship Manager to support them in their overseas country/region.

Like you, they'll be able to see all their HSBC accounts through one single view. And you'll be able to send them instant free transfers with Global Transfers.
