How much will my HSBC online card cost me?
There's no annual fee providing you remain within the terms of your agreement. The only cost will be interest on your outstanding balance if you choose not to pay it off by the date that it's due.

Can I shift balances from other cards I hold?
You can easily shift balances from your other credit and store cards by visiting our website and completing the online balance transfer function. Please note that you cannot transfer balances from another HSBC credit card.

Is the online account service free?
Yes, except for the cost of your connection to the Internet.

Can I request a specific credit limit?
We set a credit limit for your account and this will be advised to you when we send you your card. We will try to match any existing credit limit that you have on other cards. If you would like us to consider this, please send us a copy of your existing card statement when you return the signed Agreement to us.

Can I choose a statement date that suits me?
We automatically allocate a statement date to your account - this is approximately a month after your account is opened. If this date is inconvenient for you, you can select another date by visiting our website. Your first change of statement date is free, after that a small fee will be charged.

How often are my balances updated?
The service is linked to our mainframe computer so you will see transactions as soon as we do. However, please bear in mind that our computers are updated when retailers post transactions, which may be a few days after any purchase you have made.

Where can I use my HSBC online card?
It is possible to use your HSBC online card Worldwide wherever you see the MasterCard sign. However, due to US Government restrictions applicable to us, we are unable to process transactions made in Cuba.
