About Leaving Pakistan
- 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.

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 Pakistan, 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).
- Free international transfers between your Premier accounts.
- 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.
You can hold accounts in EURO, US dollars and GBP 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, International Banking Centre can still assist by providing the following international services, available to you for a one-off fee of PKR 12,000 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 PKR 12,000 is levied on a 'per account basis' upon receipt of completed account opening documents by the Pakistan International Banking Centre. If you request more than one product in the application (e.g. a current account), the additional products are included as part of the account application, and only PKR 12,000 will be charged.
* The PKR 12,000 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.
