Customers with accounts in the UAE: ACH Credit enhancements to support Pension Adjustments

Further to our communications sent in February, March and May 2015, from 1 June 2015 you have been able to submit your pension contributions (if any) via HSBCnet. This is in accordance with the General Pension & Social Security Authority (GPSSA) guidelines.

From 20 September 2015, we are further enhancing HSBCnet ACH Credit payment screens and payment files uploaded via the File Upload service. This change is designed to support Pension Adjustment payments in the UAE.

In addition to the existing “Remittance Information” field, HSBCnet ACH Credit payment screens will include a new “Other Information” field. As of 20 September, the “Other Information” field can be used to provide detailed information for Pension Adjustment payments.

For pension payments or adjustments initiated via the ACH Credit screen on HSBCnet, please be advised that you must select the "Not required" option in the "IBAN validation" field.

To ensure the Pension Adjustment information is captured accurately in your payment, please follow the format as outlined in the table below:
