HSBC Hong Kong SWIFT Code: HSBCHKHH

The SWIFT/BIC code for HSBC Hong Kong is HSBCHKHH. HSBC identifies the bank, HK stands for Hong Kong, and HH is the Hong Kong location code. This code is distinct from HSBC UK (HSBCGB2L) and HSBC USA (MRMDUS33).

HSBC's Hong Kong operations predate the bank's UK headquarters — the "H" in HSBC originally stood for Hongkong (its 1865 founding name was Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation). HSBC Hong Kong is the largest bank in the territory and one of three banknote-issuing institutions.

HKD Transfers and Asia-Pacific Hub

HSBC Hong Kong processes the highest volume of HKD wire transfers of any bank. The bank clears HKD payments through the HKMA's RTGS system and handles multi-currency settlements in USD, RMB, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, and SGD from its Hong Kong treasury.

Incoming wires in HKD settle same-day if received before the 5:00 PM HKT cut-off. USD and other foreign currency wires typically settle within 1 to 2 business days. HSBC's Global Transfers feature allows free instant transfers between HSBC accounts worldwide for Premier and Jade clients.

HSBC Hong Kong Wire Transfer Costs

HSBC Hong Kong charges HKD 50 for incoming wire transfers to Jade and Premier accounts, and HKD 65 for standard accounts. Outgoing international wires cost HKD 100 to HKD 220 depending on the currency, destination, and account tier.

HSBC's FX rates in Hong Kong are competitive for major currency pairs, particularly HKD-USD (which operates under a linked exchange rate system at 7.75 to 7.85 HKD per USD) and HKD-RMB. The bank processes a substantial share of Asia-Pacific trade settlement flows.
