In order to protect you during payment transfer, the instruction to add a new payee will come into effect after 6 hours. You can make only one transfer to each new payee before it is active. Transfers will be processed (and the corresponding daily transfer limit will be consumed) after payee becomes active. There will be email and SMS notification to confirm you once the transfer is done. 

Yes, you can make 1 global transfer each to newly added payees before they're active. But we'll only process the transfer once the payee is active – and the corresponding daily transfer limit will be consumed.

To cancel the transfer instruction before the payee is active, log on to the HSBC HK App, go to 'Pay', and select 'Pending global transfer'. Please note that the new payee will be deleted along with the transfer instructions.

Yes, you can cancel the global transfer to the newly added payee's HSBC account before the payee is active.
