    HSBC offers a currency account which gives you local details for multiple currencies. In my comparisons HSBC offers better value than Wise because it doesn't charge a fee. However, I agree they are not transparent. Revolut is still best for up to 1000£. Revolut also gives you vaults with 0.9% interest for euro account for free and its FSCS protected.

      Hey Timos! Thanks for sharing your insight. I only chose to leave HSBC's foreign currency accounts out because they're similar to Barclays and just not that compelling.
      I have to disagree that HSBC provides more value, can you explain why you think that?
      They charge fixed fees on certain outbound international payments (www.hsbc.co.uk/international/currency-account/#fees) and have quite opaque exchange rates, which probably contain hidden exchange rate margin fees (I might be wrong as I can't confirm). Given the fixed fees and hidden fees you'd likely pay with HSBC, I would think Wise would be cheaper.
      HSBC does have more currencies available which certainly provide better value, and you have fee-free ATM withdrawals. But I just can't get on board with their high fees. Love to hear your thoughts though and why you think otherwise. ^Jonny

      @@Monitodotcom thanks for your answer. I'm mainly interested in euro. GBP to EURO conversion was always cheaper in HSBC compared to Wise because of the fee that Wise charges. They also support sending euro for free in the EU. They do charge 7£ for sending dollars to other accounts which is absurd. After having tried personally all the options and given the fact that I don't convert more than 1000£, Revolut is still my go to option.

      I did convert some € to £ few days ago in my global money account and the exchange rate was exactly the same than the revolut one.
      I'm not à Revolut expert, but the benefice I see with HSBC is the with global view the transfer are instantly performed.

    In 2012, HSBC Holdings' agreement to pay a $1.9 billion fine points to a lack of adequate control processes in compliance and anti-money laundering. HSBC provided money-laundering services of more than $881 million to various drug cartels including Mexico's Sinaloa cartel and Colombia's Norte del Valle cartel.

    Hi. Was considering the HSBC acct as we live in Australia but have family in the uk that put money in acct for Bdays, Xmas etc and apparently no transaction fees if we use that money here ? We are also making a trip back to uk and Europe later in the year so thought same account would be good for loading our money into and spending there also ? Am I wrong?? Would one of the others be better for us. Totally confused now.

    I use the HSBC Global Money Acc, but I use it paired with a USD Currency Account.
    This means for me that I can buy my USD very very cheaply at my local travel agents and the deposit that cash into my USD Account and then when I need to spend it on a card, just transfer it to my Global Money card, with no fees - one thing to note is and this is HIGHLY annoying, HSBC Branches only accept foreign bank notes not coins, lukily enough if your local travel agents are as awsome as mines are then you could ask them if they would exchange your 5x 20cents coins for a 1dollar note XD yes i have done that and HSBC gladly accepted it

    Also if I have a wise account with usd currency, can I transfer that to a revolut account?

      Hey! If I were you I'd consider using Revolut, AND given the amount you are likely to be exchanging, get their Premium account so you have unlimited fee-free currency exchange. Then just deposit the GBP into your R account, exchange for USD and send to the Georgia school. That should be straight forward and a great way to save money on FX fees.

    Hello, thanks for the video. Have you had experience with EUR withdrawals in the UK. I want to maintain a EUR bank account. However I want to have an option whereby I'll be able to make cash withdrawals from that EUR account in EUR in the UK and without a fee. I suppose that will not be possible to do through an ATM in the UK, hence Starling Bank is an unlikely option, as I expect I'd need to visit a bank branch. Do you know whether that option is available with either HSBC or Barclays bank? And whether it's fee free (withdrawal in EUR from EUR balance in the UK, no currency conversion). Thanks

In short, it is a low-fee, multi-currency account that gives you various local bank details for you to receive different currencies for free.

      Great, thank you for sharing. So you could use Revolut to make the purchase. I would suggest when you're ready to make the purchase, deposit the funds into your Revolut account via bank transfer from your UK bank account, and then in-app exchange that money for USD. There are just a few important things to remember as you'll be exchanging a large amount of money.
      1. Make sure you exchange Monday - Friday as Revolut will charge you a surcharge for exchanging currencies at the weekend.
      2. Get yourself Revolut Premium, our affiliate link will give you 3 months of Premium for free and with it, you'll get unlimited fee-free currency exchange. This means when you exchange from GBP to USD you'll pay no fees and receive the real, mid-market rate.
      3. It's likely you'll need to verify the source of the money as it's going to be a large amount. Just make sure you have the necessary paperwork.
      Then once the USD is exchanged in your account then you can make the transfer to the vendor, solicitor or whoever you're paying.
      Let me know if you have any further questions, you can also register for Revolut via this link (bit.ly/3VSlhw5 ). Thank you. ^Jonny

    • @Monitodotcom
      @Monitodotcom  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It provides exactly that, it would give you the ability to receive a particular currency. For example, GBP local account details would allow you to receive British Pounds. As Revolut don't provide local JPY account details, if someone sent you JPY via SWIFT, depending which country you reside it would be exchanged to your local currency. For me that would mean JPY being exchanged for GBP. Hope that helps. ^Jonny

Is it better to receive SWIFT transfers to a Revolut account?

    • @Monitodotcom
      @Monitodotcom  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is a great question, and you basically answered it yourself 😊
      We know that the main issue is will be exchanging JPY to GBP, and when we do we have to make sure you receive the best rate. So if you open a Barclays account and get a JPY current account you could receive the money from your employer, hold it and technically spend it like a local in Japan, that's a win! For that reason I think that option is best. Also when you're ready to transfer to GBP you could just use WISE via your Barclays account to a GBP account of your choice. Like I said, you answered the question yourself 😉 ^Jonny
