Just out of curiosity...

👋 @HSBC, if you’re aware of the benefits of CBPR2, why are you still overcharging customers on international transfers?

transferwise.com/gb/blog/cbpr2-… @HSBC isn’t just one of the biggest banks in Europe. It’s the biggest.

It’s also one of the biggest banks in the 🌎.

So you’d think that they’d make international transfers as easy, cheap and transparent as can be.

Well, they don’t.

Sending money is now cheaper for 76% of our customers, specifically in 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇮🇳 🇹🇭 🇮🇩 🇲🇾 🇨🇳 🇵🇰 🇻🇳 🇰🇷 🇱🇰 🇧🇩.

See what’s happening: Yes, it’s that time to guess the flags again – because when you know, you know 😎

Jokes.

So @NatWestGroup has not only kept on hiding fees despite a new regulation forcing them to disclose costs of international transfers…

They’ve also increased during a global pandemic. #banksaresneaky 👇 Under CBPR2, banks finally have to be transparent about what and how they’re charging you for your transfer between European currencies.

But look at the exchange rate offered by @NatWestGroup, and the one on Google. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Why so different?
