HSBC

Feature overview

What you get

Light pays out of your HSBC accounts and reads the statements back. Payment files leave Light in the format HSBC expects and the statement returns to the same ledger line, so nobody is uploading a payment file by hand or ticking off a bank statement at month end.

43 maintained formats sit behind this one entry — one per country, channel and message type HSBC supports — and they are updated as the bank changes them, so a format change is never your project.

• Pay suppliers, staff and tax from HSBC in 31 countries.
• Domestic BACS, Domestic FASTER, Domestic account to account and 13 more — 16 payment types in all.
• Collect by direct debit, not just pay out.
• Connects over Encrypted file exchange (PGP).
• Every payment carries its ledger reference, so the statement reconciles itself.
