51³Ô¹ÏÍø's best exchange rates
- Benefit straight away from our competitive live exchange rates
- You can view these rates in the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Mobile Banking app before you convert
- You can add or convert currency at any time, storing it until you need it. Convert on the go or when the rate is right for you
- When you're using your card abroad and have the funds in the currency balance you are spending in, there won't be a conversion
- If there aren't enough funds in the right currency balance, but you have funds in GBP and spend in one of the currencies you can hold with us, the conversion will be done using the HSBC Global Money Exchange Rate. Any other currencies will be converted using the VISA exchange rate
