HSBC cards - a credit to island life


MEDIA RELEASE: The views expressed in this article are those of the author and not Bailiwick Express, and the text is reproduced exactly as supplied to us

At HSBC, we understand how credit cards are essential for day-to-day living on the island and when travelling. That’s why we offer so much choice and flexibility with our range of cards. There’s never been a better time to choose HSBC, and if you successfully apply for an eligible credit card before the end of March, we’ll even gift a £25 voucher*.

Credit to your wallet

An HSBC credit card enables you to spend with ease. All cards are contactless and can be added to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. They can be used anywhere in the world, managed via the convenient HSBC Mobile Banking App, and supported by 24/7 worldwide assistance. You can even get an additional card for your partner or family member, as long as they’re over 18.

Using a credit card can be the easiest way to manage your cash flow and build a credit history. You are in control of how much you spend and how you manage your repayments. As long as you pay off the full amount each month, you can avoid debt or interest charges, and your credit score could improve as a result.

The start of the year can also be a great time to grab holiday deals and other bargains. If you wish, you can use your HSBC credit card to pay later and ease your finances.

Your choice of cards

Designed for shopping, the Premier credit card charges 0% interest on new purchases for nine months from account opening. This means you’ll have the flexibility to spread costs over that period, without having to pay any interest at all.

The Premier card offers points per pound spent, which can be redeemed for gift vouchers or converted into frequent flyer miles or charity donations. A Premier credit card provides you with access to MasterCard Priceless Cities experiences and extended warranty on many household appliances. You’ll also benefit from access to airport lounges, free unlimited Wi-Fi at over one million hotspots worldwide and hotel discounts. Should you want to transfer a balance from another credit card, with a 1.4% fee you can take advantage of 0% interest on balance transfers for up to 18 months. But that’s not all - you’ll also get 0% interest on purchases made for up to 9 months.

If you want to avoid a high rate of interest on the balance you already owe on an existing store or credit card, our Balance Transfer credit card is the perfect choice. With just a 1.5% fee, you can transfer your balance and get 0% interest for 32 months. You’ll be debt-free faster, as more of your monthly repayments will reduce debt, rather than pay interest.

A gift to your credit

While both credit cards (Premier and Balance Transfer) already offer great benefits, you’ll also get a £25 Amazon voucher if you successfully apply before the end of March, and spend or transfer at least £300 in the first 60 days of opening your account.

To apply for one of these cards, you’ll need to hold or open an eligible HSBC Bank account. If you’re already an HSBC online banking customer, you can apply in just three clicks.

Credit to your Island

We’re right with you on this beautiful island, committed to supporting you and your family. Our credit card promotion is part of a wider range of Island Offers on current accounts, loans, investments and mortgages – all available until the end of March.


We’re right with you, whatever you’re set on achieving this year.

*T&Cs, financial and other eligibility criteria apply.
