It can be a hassle to apply for a credit card when you move abroad and can't bring your credit history with you. At HSBC, we recognise this challenge and want to help.
Having a credit card in your new destination can help you build a positive credit history. This can make it easier to rent a home, get a car or make major purchases.
Your history with us matters. As an HSBC Premier customer, we'll recognise your existing relationship with us should you wish to apply for a credit card.
This service is available for Premier customers arriving in Australia, Hong Kong SAR, India, Singapore, the UAE, UK and USA.
HSBC, with support of our partner Nova Credit, have created a secure digital process that allows customers to share their credit history from certain countries and regions. This service is integrated into our Credit Card application, enabling customers' credit history to be accessed and passed across digitally without the effort of them having to go and request their report manually. Just one way we aim to support our international customers by enabling a slicker and quicker experience. This service is available in Singapore and United Kingdom, and being expanded to more markets soon.
