FAQs

How to pay for your credit card?

Paying your HSBC credit card is easy!  Head to an HSBC branch or ATM to use cash, cheque, or your debit card. Alternatively, pay online through HSBC or another bank’s platform (if you have an account there). For ultimate convenience, use the HSBC mobile banking app (requires an HSBC account).

How does a Cashplus card work?

A Cashplus card can be either a credit card or a prepaid card. The credit card works like most, offering rewards and letting you borrow money. A prepaid card is like a debit card loaded with your own cash, ideal for budgeting or if you can’t get a traditional credit card.

Does Cashplus show on the credit file?

This likely shows on your credit file. Credit card activity is typically reported to credit bureaus, which can affect your credit score.

Can you withdraw cash from a credit card with HSBC UAE?

Withdrawing cash from an HSBC credit card in UAE is possible, but avoid it if possible! A 3% fee (minimum AED 100) applies to each withdrawal, making it expensive. Use your debit card or an ATM for cash to skip these credit card cash advance charges.
