Penalties and Fees may be applied if there is a customer error or omission in providing correct or incomplete remittance information and may cause a rejection of, or delays in, the transfer. We shall not be held liable for any potential loss.

The actual time to complete a transaction may differ from estimates due to increased scrutiny of transactions by the financial institution or entity providing financial services to the beneficiary of remittances.

For recall of payments, please contact us by any of the means listed at https://www.hsbc.ae/help/contact/. We may charge payment recall fee. We cannot guarantee that we’ll be able to recall the payment successfully.

We use the HSBC foreign exchange rate to work out the VAT charges on foreign transaction fees.

Are you eligible?

Things you should know
