Overseas ATM withdrawal limit

Enhanced Security for Cash Withdrawals at Overseas ATMs

If you would like to withdraw cash (including cash advances) at any overseas ATM, you must activate the overseas ATM cash withdrawal function in advance by setting the overseas ATM daily cash withdrawal limit through the following channels.

If you change your daily local ATM withdrawal limit upon activation of overseas ATM cash withdrawal function, the overseas ATM daily withdrawal limit will be changed correspondingly to 50% / 100% of your daily local ATM withdrawal limit.

To ensure that you can withdraw cash through overseas UnionPay ATM, before departure, please remember to check if the ATMs at the destination country / location accept the UnionPay ATM chip card or Credit Card. For details, please visit http://unionpayintl.com/. In addition, you may use a Hang Seng Visa or MasterCard Credit Card (for personal customers only) to withdraw cash from your Hang Seng savings account. If you have not yet linked your Hang Seng savings account to your Credit Card, please visit any of our branches to subscribe for the service.
