Travel Money

Fee-free deliveries on your Travel Money to HSBC Full and Cash Service branches or home.

Making an international payment this Holi?

Celebrate the festival of colour and love by using our great rates on Indian rupees when making your international payments.

There are no HSBC fees applicable if you're using a Global Money Account. If you're making payments from a non-Global Money account, there are no extra costs to send money from an HSBC account to another HSBC account, or to another bank if it's in euros and within the EEA. Otherwise, there's a £5 charge to send money to any other bank if you send it online. This also applies to recurring and future-dated payments. T&Cs and eligibility criteria apply for Global Money Account and our international payments service.

Your travel checklist

Make sure to follow these tips before, during and after you travel:

  • Note down the lost or stolen emergency number just in case
  • Order your Travel Money online
  • Get Travel Insurance and take the policy details along with you. Some of our current accounts have Travel Insurance. Be sure to check before you book any Travel Insurance
  • When you return, take your unused notes back to your Full Service or Cash Service Branch and we'll buy them back from you. Please ask in a branch for our buy back rates as different exchange rates apply for this service

How do I cancel my Travel Money order?

Sorry, but once you've confirmed any Travel Money orders, we can't cancel them. This is because of fluctuation in the rates. You can visit a Full Service or Cash Service Branch once you've received your Travel Money and exchange it back into pounds. But please note the rates will be different and you won't receive the amount you paid.
