Registered Account
This is a useful feature if you transfer large amounts regularly (for example, pay school fees) to the same third-party account. For your own protection you are required to register these transfer accounts by submitting a request form to any HSBC branch in Hong Kong. Once the Registered Account has been set up, simply choose the 'Registered HSBC Account' option when making your transfer request and select the required account to which you wish to transfer funds.

My Notes
A handy notes section is available where you can remind yourself what the forward-dated transfer or template is about. Please note that this section does not form part of the instruction you send to the bank.

'Save as Template' Option
If you have selected this option and click Go, your transaction will be processed by the Bank and this will also create a pre-input transfer instruction that you can use in the future for a similar transaction.
