Why do I need HSBC Bank SWIFT code?

If you're making an international transfer to a HSBC Bank bank account, or if someone is transferring you cash to your HSBC Bank bank account in the United Kingdom, you'll be asked for a BIC/SWIFT code along with details like the bank address. However, using traditional banks to send money abroad can be slow and expensive. Try Wise for fast, cheap and secure international money transfers.

Compare prices for sending money abroad

Banks and other transfer services have a dirty little secret. They add hidden markups to their exchange rates - charging you more without your knowledge. And if they have a fee, they charge you twice.

Wise never hides fees in the exchange rate. We give you the real rate. Compare our rate and fee with Western Union, ICICI Bank, WorldRemit and more, and see the difference for yourself.

Always confirm the details with your recipient

When sending or receiving money, always check the SWIFT code with your recipient or bank.

If you think you've used the wrong SWIFT code to send money, you should get in contact with your bank right away. They may be able to cancel the transaction. If it's too late to cancel, you might have to contact the recipient yourself and request that they return your money.

Do HSBC Bank SWIFT codes change from branch to branch?

Each HSBC Bank branch has a unique SWIFT code. You can check the correct SWIFT codes for your HSBC Bank branch here. However, if you’re not sure, or can’t find the branch code, you can use the 8 character head office SWIFT code, and your payment will still make its way to your account.
