With the HSBC Everyday Global Account, you can make transfers or bill payments in ten different foreign currencies with S$0 FX fees.

Do note that if you are spending using the HSBC Global Everyday Debit Card, you will enjoy S$0 FX fees on nine foreign currencies as RMB is not a transactable currency via the debit card.
The debit card, which is extended for free to HSBC Everyday Global Account holders, gives cardholders access to millions of touchpoints worldwide, allowing you to travel with peace of mind. This account is especially convenient given that Singapore is surrounded by nearby countries with different currencies.
(Do note that while the magnetic strip of your credit card is not activated for overseas use, you can still make transactions with your debit card using other modes of payment, such as online or chip-enabled transactions. You will need to enable your HSBC Everyday Global Debit Card for overseas magnetic strip usage.)
