Please note: these smartforms are designed to be viewed in Adobe Reader software to enable full functionality. If viewed in other software they may not work as intended.
Important: To help you complete your application, we’ve updated our smartforms to highlight fields that require essential information.
We’ve also included new functionality that will generate a barcode on your form when you validate it. This barcode captures the information you’ve entered and helps us to process your request quickly and efficiently when we receive it.
Please ensure you are always using the most up to date version of the appropriate application form by downloading it directly from this page.
Internet Trade Services on HSBCnet is the best way to tell us about your trade transaction needs and apply for our Trade Finance and Guarantees solutions. If you don’t use HSBCnet you’ll need to apply for an HSBCnet facility and request that Internet Trade Services be included in your profile. If you already use HSBCnet you’ll simply need to request the addition of the Internet Trade Services module to get you up and running.1
To progress either of the above options, please contact our Trade Client Services Team on 0800 783 1300 or you can email trade.direct@hsbc.com.2
1 If you already use HSBCnet, there’s no additional monthly fee for the use of the Internet Trade Services module. If you don’t currently use HSBCnet, other fees and charges may apply either now or in future, depending on your individual needs and how you plan to use the platform. We’ll confirm any charges when we set up the service for you.
