Moving to a new country is no small feat. Looking for the right neighbourhood, learning about the culture and setting up your finances can be much easier if you have someone on the ground. Plus, the journey doesn’t end there — it takes time to understand a country’s nuances.

Whether you’ve been here a long time or are new to Singapore, there are always more ways to get local. And with HSBC’s new partnership with ANZA, it’s never been easier. Read on to find out about the four most commonly asked questions about moving to The Red Dot.

  1. What should I do before making the move?

One of the most important things you should have is a local bank account, so you can get your finances in order before you arrive. At HSBC, we pride ourselves on being a global bank, with a local presence. That’s why we’re the only bank in Singapore that helps you seamlessly set up your account before you even arrive. As ANZA members, you can look forward to a smooth transition into this beautiful city.

  1. I’m new to Singapore. How do I start building a life for my family here?

Take the time to celebrate your big move and we’ll settle the rest. Once here, you’ll gain access to our full suite of services to settle you into everyday life. Think 800 touchpoints, contactless payments and paying for MRT rides with just your HSBC debit card. Thinking long-term? Whether it’s building your dream home or securing your child’s dreams, you’ll enjoy attractive interest rates on personal loans and deposits that let you fund what matters most to you.

  1. How can I easily manage my finances across different countries?
