Recurring transfer - Important Notes and Declarations

Important Notes

The Bank will set up the standing instruction accordingly, and no acknowledgement letter will be sent to you after the instruction is setup successfully.

For instruction submitted before HKT 20:00 (Monday to Friday) and 17:30 (on Saturday) will be effective after 2 business day.

If the instruction is rejected due to whatever reason, a notification letter will be sent to you by mail.

Transaction's details of the standing instruction will be reflected in your account statement or passbook after your request has been carried out by us.

Transfer of Funds must be in Hong Kong Dollar.

For transaction to a non-HSBC account, the beneficiary account will normally be credited one to two business days after payment date.

Please note that the first payment date must be within the range of your chosen payment frequency. For example, the first payment date should be within one week from the application date if it is weekly payment.

If the Payment Date falls on a day which is not a business day, the standing instruction will be effected on the following business day. In the event that the following business day falls on the next calendar month, the standing instruction will be effected on the business day immediately preceding the Payment Date. The reference to "business day" means a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, on which banks are open for general business in Hong Kong.
