TRADESHIFT - System Status:

The platform is experiencing some issues - we are very sorry about it. Our engineers are already working on stabilizing the system. If you would like to get live updates on the status please subscribe on our status page here.

Welcome! Exciting things are happening

HSBC Group is moving to full electronic Purchase to Pay processing globally so our suppliers can receive Purchase Orders and send invoices electronically with an e-invoicing platform powered by Tradeshift!

What is the benefit of Tradeshift for HSBC Group Suppliers?
  • Visibility to you of the real time status of an invoice during its lifecycle
  • Easy Setup - No installation of hardware or software required
  • Real-time Validation of invoice accuracy
  • Public Profiles & Network - Promote your business, products and services

  • NEW: From 30 September 2024, all HSBC invoices to USA, Singapore, and Australia entities need to route via Tradeshift. Invoices received via alternative routes will no longer be processed to remove our existing paper-based processes, in support of our sustainability ambitions.

We are committed to supporting you in making this transition as easy and pain-free as possible.

What do Suppliers need to do? - Please wait for an activation email from Tradeshift before getting started. Please do not join the network prior to receiving an activation link otherwise the account you have created will be set up incorrectly.

To help with the transition, follow these 4 steps. Together with Tradeshift, we will ensure you have the right support and a smooth journey.

Important: Only invited suppliers can access this platform. If you haven’t received your invitation yet please contact your business contact. Both HSBC Group and Tradeshift look forward to working with you on this exciting new initiative.

3 Methods for Sending Invoices via Tradeshift

Tradeshift has made it possible and easy for any business to invoice their customers - no matter the invoice volume. Depending on the volume of invoices you send, we recommend the following options:


1.

The ‘PO flip’ method
HSBC Group preferred method - not available in Germany
This method reduces invoice to PO matching errors
HSBC Group will be delivering all Purchase Orders via the Tradeshift Platform. These can be turned into an invoice and returned to HSBC Group via the platform. All relevant information from the Purchase Order is automatically retained during the flip process for speed and accuracy.

2.

The 'Web Interface' method
For low volume invoices
HSBC Group Suppliers can key and submit invoices directly into Tradeshift
This method should be considered for invoices not related to HSBC Group Purchase Orders.

3.

The ‘Integration- file transfer’ method
For large volumes of invoices
For our high-volume suppliers we offer an integration approach to sending and receiving files which means a direct link between their ERP and Tradeshift. You will be contacted by Tradeshift and HSBC Group directly who will work with you to get set up.
We recommend you check the supported EDI formats here with your IT department. 

Invoice Validation Rules

What are validation rules and why are they important?

Validation rules ensure that the vendor provides information in all the required fields. HSBC Group can then process the invoice quickly and efficiently without any unnecessary exceptions or delay.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When submitting an invoice please do not share any beneficiary details i.e., Account Number, IBAN, beneficiary account name in the free text fields.
