Global Payment Solutions (GPS) is a multi-award-winning team that helps clients make payments across borders, currencies, and regulations—quickly and efficiently.

Who you are

We’re looking for people who love building connections and solving complex problems, and want to make a real impact in the world of global payments. You don’t need to know everything about transaction banking—bring your curiosity and drive, and we’ll help with the rest.

• A natural collaborator: You enjoy working closely with colleagues at all levels and across teams to deliver the right solution.
• An effective communicator: You explain ideas clearly, in writing and conversation, even when things are technical.
• Ownership mindset: You take pride in your work, stay motivated and accountable.
• Eager to learn: You’re interested in how financial services and technology evolve—and how clients benefit from that innovation.
• An analytical thinker: You look for smarter ways of working, use data to back up your ideas, and want to create better experiences for clients.
• A people person: You enjoy building relationships and learning from others to develop your own authentic style.

What you’ll do

You’ll be part of a specialist team focused on a specific product area, while gaining exposure across other parts of the business.

• Rotate through core teams—Sales, Product Management, Client Management, Business Management, or Chief Control Office—to solve real client problems.
• Match the right financial products to the right clients—payments tools, cards, or liquidity solutions.
• Ensure services meet international compliance requirements and local regulations.
• Discover how we use AI, APIs, cloud, and automation to improve client services.
• Contribute to internal work: create dashboards, support presentations, and help senior team members with client-facing materials.
• Support efforts to keep HSBC competitive in global payment trends, such as real-time payments and virtual accounts.

What you’ll learn

We’ll support you with comprehensive training and development. The Global Graduate Induction provides an overview of HSBC and helps you build a global network of graduates and colleagues. After the induction, you’ll participate in a global tailored training programme to build technical understanding and professional skills, including knowledge of core financial solutions such as:

• Liquidity and Investment products—tools to optimize balance sheets and forecast cash flow.
• Payments—solutions to move money domestically and globally, including real-time and omnichannel tools.
• Cards—tools to help clients manage and monitor corporate spending.

Your application journey

As part of the application process, you’ll complete a short online assessment to tailor the support you receive during the programme.
