Review of the HSBC, Credit Card:

Terrible customer service - avoid at all costs!

1
After receiving my Platinum CC with a 10000$ Credit limit, I reduced it online to $6000 for security reasons. A month later I wanted to book international flights and tried online to increase limit back to $10000. Incising limit online did not work. I had to refill the form (provided same details as original application) and credit increase was denied. I called HSBC but the call center staff unable to provide reasons (offered to reapply in 3month time!). If I had been advised prior to reducing limit I had to re-apply to re-instate the original CC limit, I would not have reduced the limit. As a result, I missed out on a better airfare costing me money. I have now moved all my business to ANZ. Great job Jessica Power, Head of Wealth and Personal Banking, HSBC Bank Australia Limited for properly annoying and loosing customers! Never again. Reviewed on: 18th June 2024

Total waste of time!!!

1
I was pre-approved for 0% balance transfer of £5000, but after answering personal questions both on line and over the phone, was offered a credit limit of £1000. Total waste of everyone’s time, and felt that ai had sold my soul to the bank for them to then not approve the credit ai was applying for! Reviewed on: 4th February 2024

New credit card

Just took out a new credit card. I am already a customer so there wasn't much admin but the process was quick and easy. I'm happy. Reviewed on: 4th January 2024

Rude staff

They are so rude. They should be trained to attend to customers. I don't think they won't work. They don't listen to you. Reviewed on: 5th December 2023

Accessible Student Credit Card

Purchase Credit Card

5
If you're looking for a smart financial option, I highly recommend getting a Purchase Plus Credit Card Account. With 20 months of interest-free payments, I was able to book a family vacation for this year's holiday without worrying about paying extra interest rates. It helped me stay within my budget and made my vacation planning stress-free. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023
