Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)

When you move abroad for study, the opportunities can bring immense joy and excitement. But it can also be challenging as you navigate the emotional journey of moving to a new country without the comforts of home around you. At HSBC, we believe that studying abroad shouldn’t mean sacrificing your sense of belonging and that’s why we teamed up with Virat Kohli to surprise Indian students in the UK with a game of gully cricket – something that is uniquely Indian and a lovely reminder of home, and also a wonderful way to create new connections and a new sense of belonging with other students in the UK. Watch the video to see their reaction!

The 2021 Global Indian Pulse report shows that 40% of Overseas Indians in Singapore stay connected to India by sending money back home. Whether it's for purchasing property, family expenses, or your children's education, having access to fast and cost-effective funds transfers is important.
