    Want to send USD

    Evening All

    Just need some financial advice - what is the best way to send USD's to a relative in USA whilst based in HKG? Can HSBC do it? Or are there others ways to tranfers/send USD monies?

    Cheers

    The cheapest way would be to do an interbank transfer through your HSBC online account.

    You'll need to know the relatives account numbers.

    Second ... get the bank to write you a US$ cashiers check (fee for this) and fedex it over (another fee).

    Third ... Western Union at any of the larger money changers.

    Unlike in America, transfering money (USD) to anywhere is a piece of cake. Not to mention that is cheaper and otherwise less painful.

    If you do not have Internet Banking (that way you can do the transfer at home by yourself), just go your your HSBC branch and tell them what you want to do.
