Companies in the UK, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, Ireland, Netherlands, France, and the US can now manage their transactions through the new payments platform, with access to a comprehensive set of services, including a current account, domestic and cross border payment capability, and its suite of online financial solutions HSBCnet.
