Documentation needed

So long as you meet these terms, you can proceed to the online application form. Have the following documentation available to help complete filling out the form quickly and accurately:

• Identity documents. HSBC is required by law to verify the identity of applicants before an account can be opened in their name. To accomplish this, you will be asked to provide information from your Australian driver's licence or passport. If not available, you may be asked to visit a local branch in order to complete the identity verification.
• Personal details. You are going to need to fill in your full name, date of birth, residential address and e-mail address as part of the application.
• Account information. If you are an existing HSBC customer you will need to provide the details of the accounts you already hold with them.

What happens after I submit my application?

Completing the online application should take approximately five to ten minutes. Once complete, hit submit and expect to be contacted within two business days with the details of your new everyday account. At that point your Visa debit card will be issued to you so that you can begin taking advantage of all the features of this transaction account.

What if I'm not eligible to apply online or a non-resident?

If you're moving to Australia, please get in touch with HSBC Australia migrant services to set up your account today, so you can open them before you arrive. If none of the above situations apply to you, please contact HSBC Australia directly to discuss your options.
