Luc has built up substantial savings. He has €125,000 in a one year fixed deposit account for the higher interest this earns. He also has a balance of €10,000 in a Euro Offshore Bank Account.
Because he holds more than £60,000 equivalent across all his accounts with HSBC Offshore, Luc qualifies for enhanced interest rates and rewards as one of our 'Premier' customers.
'HSBC Premier has a service for people who are moving abroad', says Luc. 'They took all the hard work out of organising my finances - I had my hands full with all the other aspects of my move.'
'A local account in Hong Kong dollars has already been set up for me which I can begin using right away, with similar credit facilities to those I have now.
As a Premier customer, I transferred funds from my Euro Offshore Bank Account to my Hong Kong account online without having to pay any fees.'
'My Relationship Manager, Marc, has already put me in touch with a Premier representative in Hong Kong - so I can still speak to someone about my money face to face.'
Less hassle for Luc
Luc, 46, will soon be leaving France for Hong Kong. His employer, a consumer electronics manufacturer, has offered him a role as Marketing Director there.
