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.

HSBCnet for Trade Finance transactions

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
