Frequently asked questions

Late repayments 

1. Will overdue balance affect my credit card account?

If there’s an overdue balance on your credit card, you may not be able to use your card as usual. We suggest you pay the statement balance on time to avoid this. 

2. Will my credit record be affected if the statement balance is overdue?

According to the People’s Bank of China regulations, your overdue history will be reflected on your credit record. We suggest you pay the statement balance on time to avoid affecting your credit record.

3. How are the interest and late charges on my overdue credit card payment calculated?

A daily 0.05% interest will be charged to your credit card account if we do not receive the minimum payment on or before the payment due date. Your account will be in delinquent status, which will cause negative impact on your credit record. The annual interest rate is approximately 18.25%, and it would not be fixed depending on different number of days in the month and different repayment schedule. Apart from interest, an additional 5% late charge will be applied to the unpaid portion of the minimum payment amount.

2. If I don’t have an HSBC China debit card, how do I pay my USD credit card bill?

If you don’t have an HSBC China debit card, you may use our RMB overpayment service to pay off your USD credit card by activating the ‘Overpayment for foreign exchange’ function through HSBC China Mobile Banking, or HSBC China WeChat Service Account. Overpayment is the excess amount on your credit card after the outstanding amount has been paid. You’ll need to credit sufficient funds to your HSBC China RMB credit card prior to the payment due date. Your USD credit card will then be repaid with the excess amount credited to your RMB credit card by a foreign exchange transaction on payment due date. If your USD credit card is not paid off via overpayment by the payment due date, please contact our China credit card service hotline to make a payment.

3. Can I authorise a third party to pay my credit card bill by visiting an HSBC China branch if I’m not able to do it?
Cardholders currently cannot authorise third parties to pay their credit card bill by visiting our branches according to bank policy. We suggest you repay your credit card via one of our digital channels such as online banking. More repayment methods(in Chinese only).

4. How do I pay my USD credit card bill with my RMB account?
You may activate or deactivate the function of ‘Foreign currency transaction billed in RMB statement’ via credit card application form, credit card service hotline,  HSBC China Mobile Banking, or HSBC China WeChat Service Account. Once the function is activated, you may settle the payment with RMB by the means of paying your RMB credit card billing statement. USD transaction will be recorded directly in RMB statement, and USD overpayment will not be deducted for repaying the USD transaction. If you choose direct debit for credit card repayment, please ensure there is sufficient funds in your RMB saving account and authorise direct debit at least 3 days before payment due date.
