HSBC system to facilitate US visa fees

HSBC Vietnam has just become the exclusive facilitator of US non-immigrant visa fees throughout Vietnam.

The bank has established a payment system available at all of its branches and transaction outlets for any non-US citizen applying for a visa via the US Embassy in Hanoi or Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City.

Also, applicants can make payments anytime, anywhere via Vietnam Post Corporation outlets nationwide thanks to HSBC Vietnam’s strategic partnership with State-owned post and telecommunications group – an alliance that bolsters HSBC’s Global Payments and Cash Management network by over 2,000 outlets.

HSBC Vietnam currently operates 18 branches and transaction outlets in Hanoi, Danang, Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Dong Nai and Binh Duong, as well as two representative offices in Haiphong and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.

HSBC has also been appointed as the bank responsible for collecting US visa fees in neighbouring territories such as Macau and Hong Kong.
