Credit card from HSBC

From the moment of deciding to use a interest free period credit card, through the application process until receiving the card, as advertised, and operating the card with the HSBC app I have been extremely happy with the service. Reviewed on: 11th June 2026

I finalised a Balance Transfer over to a HSBC Credit Card, & I was then advised to download the App to my mobile to ensure a stress free experience when Logging In to make payments. This was the total opposite, as their App is not actually finalised yet, & neither is their website. I Reviewed on: 16th April 2026

App needs modernising

3
Credit offered is good but the app has very little functionality. For example, if paying down a cresit card balance from a non-HSBC bank you must do an archaic process by bank transfer with reference code and can't just pay by card or in the app - which is the case for other credit card providers with more modern apps.

Just an all round good card, no charges , a great rate and easy to use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

Poor Customer Support.

2
Have banked with HSBC for 35 years. Service has deteriorated. Poor communication, foreign call centre. Recent problem with Rewards Credit Card. I spend several thousand pounds on this card each month. However, £150 transaction was very iffy, but HSBC refused to refund me, and there was no customer support. Reviewed on: 13th December 2025
