If you typed “HSBC branch near me” in the UAE, you don’t want a random, outdated list — you want the closest, open right now, right service tier (Premier, Jade, Corporate, Retail) location with ATM/CDM access.

This guide shows you exactly how to do that in seconds, plus everything else UAE residents, expats, entrepreneurs, and wealth clients usually need to know about HSBC in Dubai and across the Emirates.

how to instantly locate the nearest HSBC branch or ATM in the UAE

Use the official HSBC UAE Branch & ATM Locator (filter by “Branch”, “Premier Centre”, “ATM”, or “Cash Deposit Machine”).
Turn on location services on mobile to get the literal “near me” result, sorted by distance.
Filter by services you actually need (e.g., account opening, wealth advisory, safe deposit, corporate teller, CDM).
Check today’s opening hours and cut-off times (cash deposits, cheque clearing, remittances often have earlier cut‑offs).
Save the location to Google/Apple Maps and call the number listed if you need confirmation for a specific task (e.g., large FX cash exchange, high-value drafts, notarized documents).

Tip from TheDubaiWeb.com: If you’re heading to a popular business district (e.g., Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Emaar Square, DIFC, Deira, JAFZA, or Abu Dhabi’s Corniche / Al Maryah Island), confirm parking/valet, visitor registration (in free zones), and ID requirements at reception.

HSBC in the UAE: what you actually need to know (beyond the locator)

Universal banking, but segmented service models

HSBC UAE serves Retail Banking & Wealth Management, Premier & Jade, Commercial Banking (CMB), and Global Banking & Markets (GBM) clients. Not every branch supports every segment. For instance, Premier Centres commonly provide relationship managers, wealth advisory rooms, and priority counters — great if you’re an international expat managing cross-border assets.

Branch vs. ATM vs. CDM (Cash Deposit Machine)

Branches: teller services, account opening, certified documents, manager approvals.
ATMs: withdrawals, balance enquiries, card PIN services.
CDMs: cash deposits (often AED only), cheque deposits with cut-off timings.
Multi-currency ATMs are limited; confirm availability if you need foreign currency.

Typical working-hour patterns (verify before you go)

Mon–Fri is the norm (the UAE workweek), often 8:00/9:00 AM to 2:00/3:00 PM for teller operations; extended relationship-manager hours are common in wealth/premier centres.
Saturday: selective branches or ATMs only.
Public holidays: branches close, but many ATMs/CDMs remain operational.
Always double-check on the locator for Ramadan hours (shorter working windows) and end-of-month rush.

How to choose the right HSBC branch (not just the nearest)

1) Are you Premier/Jade?

Look for HSBC Premier Centres — quieter, faster, with wealth desks, international account opening, and global view features. If you’re moving money between UAE, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Saudi Arabia, Premier desks can handle the nuance.

2) Are you a business owner or CFO?

Use branches with Commercial Banking counters; they’re better equipped for trade finance documents, guarantees, LCs, high-value remittances, and bulk cash/cheque handling.

3) Do you need a CDM for urgent cash deposit?

Shortlist branches/ATMs that show CDM support. Watch for cut-off times for same-day crediting.

4) Are you opening a new account as a resident/non-resident?

Not all branches process non-resident onboarding. Call first and bring complete KYC (passport, Emirates ID, visa, proof of address, salary certificate/trade license, 6-month bank statements).

HSBC contact details (UAE)

Retail/Premier toll-free (within UAE): 600 55 4722
Outside UAE: Use the international number on your Premier/Jade card or the official website’s contact page.
Website: (Search “HSBC UAE” — we avoid raw URLs to keep this clean and user-focused.)
Social: Twitter @HSBC_UAE, Facebook @HSBCUAE (good for quick service announcements, holiday hours, app outages).

Step-by-step: using Google Maps + HSBC’s locator like a pro

Search “HSBC branch near me UAE” (mobile geolocation ON).
Open the official HSBC locator result — filter by Branch / ATM / CDM / Premier Centre.
Sort by distance or service needed (e.g., “Cash deposit machine”).
Tap for today’s opening hours, Arabic/English language support, and map directions.
Call before carrying cash > AED 100k, foreign currency, or sensitive documents.
Save the branch as a favorite if it’s your go-to for monthly deposits or trade docs.

HSBC fees, SWIFT/BIC, and transfer timing (what most people ask)

SWIFT/BIC: HSBC UAE commonly uses BBMEAEAD for international transfers (verify for your account/branch).
Cut-off times: International same-day transfers often have early afternoon cut-offs; GCC transfers may clear faster via regional rails.
Charges: Expect fees for international wires, FX conversion spreads, and sometimes incoming transfers. Premier customers often enjoy preferential pricing.

Pro move: If you regularly send money to the UK, HK, or SG, ask your Premier RM about Global View / Global Transfers and fee waivers.

Accessibility & compliance (often overlooked, but matters)

Many UAE branches support priority queues, wheelchair access, and dedicated counters.
Enhanced due diligence (EDD) is standard for expats with multiple residencies, offshore entities, or high-risk jurisdictions — bring full documentation to avoid re-visits.

Troubleshooting common HSBC “branch near me” problems

“The locator shows an ATM but no CDM.”
Use the filter properly; many ATMs don’t accept deposits. Look for “Cash Deposit Machine” or “CDM” markers.

“The branch looks open online, but the teller counter is closed.”
Some branches keep relationship desks open longer than teller counters. Call before you go.

“I can’t find a branch open on Saturday.”
Stick to malls, financial districts, or airport-linked locations — they’re more likely to have weekend hours or at least 24/7 ATMs/CDMs.

FAQ — HSBC Branches in the UAE (and beyond)

Does HSBC have branches in Pakistan?

HSBC no longer operates a consumer branch network in Pakistan. Pakistani residents typically bank with local institutions or use HSBC services offshore (e.g., UAE, UK, Singapore) if they qualify for HSBC Premier. Always confirm on HSBC’s official site for any recent changes.

Does HSBC have physical branches in the UAE?

Yes. HSBC operates full-service branches, Premier Centres, and a wide ATM/CDM network across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other emirates. Use the locator to find the one that fits your service tier and need.

Why is HSBC closing so many branches globally?

HSBC, like most large banks, has been rebalancing its footprint towards digital banking, higher-growth regions, and premier/wealth hubs. This often means fewer, more specialized physical locations, especially in mature markets, and heavier investment in mobile banking, remote advisory, and video onboarding.

Is HSBC an international bank?

Absolutely. HSBC is one of the world’s largest international banks, serving 40M+ customers across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Asia-Pacific, and the Americas through retail, commercial, global banking, and markets divisions.

How do I know if an HSBC branch in Dubai supports Premier or Jade?

Filter the locator by Premier Centre, or call ahead. Jade clients typically access discreet advisory spaces, investment desks, and concierge-style relationship management at select centres.

Can I deposit USD or other foreign currencies at a CDM?

Most CDMs accept AED only. For foreign currency cash deposits, go to a full-service branch and confirm cut-off times.

What documents should I carry to open an HSBC UAE account?

Typically: Passport, Emirates ID, UAE residency visa, proof of UAE address, salary certificate (for salaried), trade license & MoA (for business owners), and 6-month bank statements (often required for Premier/wealth tiers). Requirements vary—call before you go.

Are HSBC UAE branches open during Ramadan?

Yes, but with shortened working hours. The locator and HSBC’s social channels publish Ramadan timings every year — double-check before visiting.

Can I open an HSBC account in the UAE if I’m a non-resident?

Possible, but not guaranteed — often linked to Premier eligibility, global relationship value, or local income/asset thresholds. Call a Premier Centre to assess your case.

Is there an HSBC branch at Dubai International Airport (DXB)?

ATMs are widely available at DXB, but full-service branches are limited. If you need teller services, plan a city branch visit.
