Rationale
HSBC Expat offers multi-currency accounts and a Global Money debit card, aligning with the core features of a multi-currency platform. They explicitly mention 'fee-free international payments' with Global Money, which suggests transparent and low fees, although the mid-market exchange rate isn't explicitly stated as 'mid-market' but rather 'competitive rates' and 'aligned with the market'. They also highlight fast transfers and mobile app functionality. While they offer international banking services, the focus is on expatriates rather than a broad audience, and some features like batch payments or API integration are not clearly advertised for general users.
