About leaving UAE

• If you're moving overseas to live or work, you'll need to set up bank accounts. But where do you start?
  
  If you are buying a house overseas, you may also need a bank account in that country. But how do you find out what's available and what the local regulations are?
  
  As a member of the HSBC Group with around 10,000 offices in 82 countries, we are ideally positioned to help you. Speak to our experts at the International Banking Centre about managing your finances and assets, no matter where you live.

Leaving UAE, but where are you moving to?

If you are not a Premier customer
The International Banking Centre can still assist by providing the following international services, available to you for a one-off fee of AED 740 per account:

• We'll provide account opening forms for you to complete and then arrange for the accounts to be opened before you leave for your new country (subject to local terms and conditions)
• When you get to your new country, if you need any assistance, simply contact the local International Banking Centre. They understand the needs of customers from overseas and will provide help and guidance.

The one-off fee of AED 740 is levied on a 'per account basis' upon receipt of completed account opening documents by the UAE International Banking Centre. If you request more than one product in the application (e.g. a current account and a credit card), the additional products are included as part of the account application, and only AED 740 will be charged.

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. AED 1480).

* The AED 740 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.
