Changes to your HSBC Credit Card Finance Charge

HSBC Advisory: Updates on cheque design standards and specifications

We want to let you know about updates on cheque design and specifications, in line with the Philippine Clearing House Corporation (PCHC) Issuance CICS OM No. 21-036.

Starting 31 October 2022

All new HSBC Philippines cheques will follow the standard cheque format with the following changes:

2. Amount in Figures: The Peso (₱) Sign is moved out, and is now placed before the box
3. Signature Line/Space: Now with a designated box for the signature line/space

Starting 1 May 2024

Only the following cheques will be accepted for clearing:

1. Cheques following the new format (bearing the above mentioned changes)
2. Post-Dated Cheques (PDCs) stamped ‘Warehoused’ by banks prior to 1 May 2024

If you have outstanding cheques with the old design, kindly have these presented and cleared before 1 May 2024 to avoid these from being returned.

FAQs

What will happen to my old cheques after 1 May 2024?

These will no longer be accepted for deposit / encashment, and will be returned. A new cheque will need to be issued following the new format.

What if I input the wrong date format after 1 May 2024? (e.g., spelling out the date as December 1, 2024 instead 12-01-2024 per the standard MM-DD-YYYY in the new design)

Your cheque will not be accepted for deposit / encashment, and will be returned.

I already issued Post-Dated Cheques (PDCs) to a payee (e.g., property developer), will I need to have these replaced?

As long as the PDCs have been duly stamped ‘Warehoused’ by your payee’s bank prior to 1 May 2024, these will continue to be accepted and will not need to be replaced.

How can I request for a new chequebook?


You may request for a PHP checkbook by contacting your nearest branch or HSBC hotline. View applicable fees here.


Is there any change to the clearing period or cut-off time?

No, standard cheque clearing period and cut-off times will continue to apply. Learn more here.

Protect your mobile device from fraud

For your security and safety, manage your mobile devices to help protect your account.

  • Make sure you have the latest software version or Operating System version.
  • Starting September 2022, the minimum acceptable versions are IOS 13 and Android 7. If you’re using a lower version you’ll need to upgrade first before you can access the HSBC Mobile Banking App.
  • Use an anti-virus program and keep it updated.
  • Use strong and complex passwords in your devices and mobile applications. Change them regularly.
  • Use biometric and 2-factor authentication, if applicable.
  • Do not use public Wi-Fi if you have to access your bank accounts or make credit card payments.
  • Validate the source before you download anything.
  • Do not save your card information on shared devices.

Changes to your HSBC Credit Card's Minimum Due Amount

Starting 28 February 2022, there'll be changes in the computation of your HSBC Credit Card's monthly Minimum Due Amount and how we apply your credit card payments.
From
To

The minimum due amount is computed as:


Four percent (4%) of your current billed balances (including cash advances and cash advance fees and charges, retail purchases, non-installment related fees and charges) or PHP500, whichever is higher,

+ 100% of the fixed monthly amortization of installment transactions and installment related fees and charges

+ Past Due installment amortization amount PLUS the corresponding full amount of finance charge incurred, if any

+ Any other Past Due or Overlimit amount, whichever is higher

The minimum due amount will be the higher of:

1)PHP500 OR

2)The sum of the following:

a.1% of the full current amount you owe (which includes retail purchase, cash advance, cash advance fees, and other fees/charges excluding annual fee, finance and late charge, overlimit fee), PLUS

b.One-twelfth (1/12) of your annual fee, if applicable, PLUS

c.100% of the monthly installment amount (principal and interest), overlimit fee, finance charge and late charge


AND any past due amount or overlimit amount, whichever is higher.

If you pay less than the amount that you owe us for that month, we’ll apply your payment first to any unpaid amounts that remain unpaid from previous months and then apply what is left in this order:

  • charges and fees
  • your card insurance premium
  • up to the minimum payment or, if we have agreed an instalment plan with you, up to the instalment amount.


In each case, we'll apply the payment first to amounts which we charge at a higher rate of interest followed by amounts we charge at lower rates. If the interest is the same, we’ll apply it to the oldest amounts first.


If you pay more than what you owe us for that month, any excess won't bear any interest and we'll use it to pay any future transactions, fees, charges and interest in the same order until it is gone.

If you pay at least the minimum due amount on time, we'll apply your payment in this logic and order:

  • 100% on any monthly instalment amount,
  • 100% on Cash Advance finance charge,
  • 1% on Cash Advance fee,
  • 1% on Cash Advance principal amount,
  • 100% finance charge on remaining transactions,
  • 1% on service fee
  • 100% on late fee,
  • 1/12 of latest billed annual fee,
  • 100% overlimit fee, and
  • 1% on the principal amount of your remaining transactions


Any payment in excess of the minimum due amount will be applied to the unpaid portion of the cash advance fee and principal amount , and finally to the remaining fees and unpaid transactions in your account.


For your reference on our existing terms and conditions, please visit HSBC Credit Card Terms and Conditions.

Four percent (4%) of your current billed balances (including cash advances and cash advance fees and charges, retail purchases, non-installment related fees and charges) or PHP500, whichever is higher,

+ 100% of the fixed monthly amortization of installment transactions and installment related fees and charges

+ Past Due installment amortization amount PLUS the corresponding full amount of finance charge incurred, if any

+ Any other Past Due or Overlimit amount, whichever is higher

To
The minimum due amount will be the higher of:

1)PHP500 OR

2)The sum of the following:

a.1% of the full current amount you owe (which includes retail purchase, cash advance, cash advance fees, and other fees/charges excluding annual fee, finance and late charge, overlimit fee), PLUS

b.One-twelfth (1/12) of your annual fee, if applicable, PLUS

c.100% of the monthly installment amount (principal and interest), overlimit fee, finance charge and late charge


AND any past due amount or overlimit amount, whichever is higher.

From

If you pay less than the amount that you owe us for that month, we’ll apply your payment first to any unpaid amounts that remain unpaid from previous months and then apply what is left in this order:

  • charges and fees
  • your card insurance premium
  • up to the minimum payment or, if we have agreed an instalment plan with you, up to the instalment amount.


In each case, we'll apply the payment first to amounts which we charge at a higher rate of interest followed by amounts we charge at lower rates. If the interest is the same, we’ll apply it to the oldest amounts first.


If you pay more than what you owe us for that month, any excess won't bear any interest and we'll use it to pay any future transactions, fees, charges and interest in the same order until it is gone.

To

If you pay at least the minimum due amount on time, we'll apply your payment in this logic and order:

  • 100% on any monthly instalment amount,
  • 100% on Cash Advance finance charge,
  • 1% on Cash Advance fee,
  • 1% on Cash Advance principal amount,
  • 100% finance charge on remaining transactions,
  • 1% on service fee
  • 100% on late fee,
  • 1/12 of latest billed annual fee,
  • 100% overlimit fee, and
  • 1% on the principal amount of your remaining transactions


Any payment in excess of the minimum due amount will be applied to the unpaid portion of the cash advance fee and principal amount , and finally to the remaining fees and unpaid transactions in your account.

HSBC’s Payment Holiday for Customers affected by Typhoon Odette

1. What is the Payment Holiday offer?

The Payment Holiday offer is a 30-day grace period for qualified customers who may choose to skip paying their due amounts covering due dates from December 16, 2021 until January 15, 2022. Late fees will be waived during this period.

2. Who are qualified to avail of the Payment Holiday offer?

HSBC customers who are affected by Typhoon Odette, are current or delinquent for less than 60 days, and live at the following areas may avail of the Payment Holiday offer: Bohol, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Palawan, Southern Leyte, Surigao Del Norte. We’ll send an SMS and / or an electronic direct mailer (eDM) to the qualified customers.

3. How do I avail of this offer?

For Credit Cards and Personal Loans (excluding Employee Privilege Program / EPP).

If you’re qualified to avail of this offer based on FAQ no. 2, you may choose not to pay for your due amount with due dates that fall within December 16, 2021 until January 15, 2022. We’ll consider non-payment of your due amounts on your due date as having availed of the offer. We’ll apply the necessary adjustments in your account for this availment.

For Home Loans and Asset Link Loans

While your auto-debit payment arrangement will still push through on your due date that fall within December 16, 2021 until January 15, 2022, you may still avail of the payment holiday offer by calling your relationship manager or branch of account. We’ll reverse the auto-debited payment and waive the late fee during this period.

Please note that we’ll consider your account as having availed of the offer if your nominated account has insufficient funds on your scheduled auto-debit arrangement date during the payment holiday period. We’ll make the necessary adjustments in your account for this availment.

4. Will I be charged with late fee and interest if I avail of the offer?

We’ll waive your late fees during the 30-day grace period during the qualified due dates under the offer. On interest, please refer to below:

Credit card:

We’ll reverse your finance charge if you paid your outstanding balance in full on due dates from November 16 to December 15, 2021 (called “transactor”). The finance charge incurred during the payment holiday period will be reversed in full in your Feb/Mar22 statement of account (SOA), as applicable.

If you paid less than the total due amount on your due dates from November 16 to December 15, 2021 (called “revolver”), the finance charge that you’ll earn during the payment holiday period will not be reversed and will form part of your finance charges that you’ll see in your next SOA.

All Loans:

The accrued interest earned during the Payment Holiday will not be reversed. This has to be paid in your next due date after the Payment Holiday period.

5. What adjustments will I see in my Credit Card SOA if I avail of the offer?

If we don’t receive payment on your due date during the Payment Holiday period, please expect the following adjustments in your next SOA (in Jan/Feb22):

For current accounts:

  • A credit entry equivalent to your minimum due amount from your previous statement
  • A debit entry equivalent to your minimum due amount from your previous statement
  • No Late Fee

For qualified delinquent accounts:

  • A credit entry equivalent to your earliest unpaid minimum due amount
  • A debit entry equivalent to your earliest unpaid minimum due amount
  • No Late Fee

The adjustments were done to automatically waive the late fee but retain your outstanding balance. For transactors, the finance charge or interest from the payment holiday, will still be reflected in your SOA. This will be reversed in full in your succeeding statement (e.g. Feb/Mar22) and is already net of the finance charge in your account.

6. When should I pay for the due amount that I didn’t pay because I availed of Payment Holiday?

Credit card:

Please refer to your next statement of account (SOA) after the Payment Holiday period to know your full due amount. You may pay at least the minimum due amount or the total due amount on or before the due date stated in your SOA.

All Loans:

After the Payment Holiday period, you’ll have to pay for 2 monthly due amounts in your next due date including accrued interest. For Home Loan and Asset Link Loan, your auto-debited payment will compose of 2 monthly due amounts plus the accrued interest from the Payment Holiday.

For delinquent loans, you’ll have to pay for the ff. on the next due date: monthly due amount from the Payment Holiday period, monthly due for the current period, and other missed monthly due amounts including accrued interest.

7. I have installment transactions in my Credit Card account, will I be billed with 2 monthly installment amounts on my next due date if I avail of Payment Holiday?

Yes, your total due amount on your next SOA after the Payment Holiday will include 2 monthly installment amounts. However, you may choose to pay at least the minimum due amount on your due date. Please note the corresponding finance charge that will be computed for payments that are less than the total due amount for the month. Your installment amount during the payment holiday period will also earn finance charge if not paid in full in your next SOA.

8. I want to pay for my due amounts to avoid unnecessary interests, where can I pay?

We continue to accept payments for your credit cards, personal loans, and home loans during this period. For Cards and Personal Loans (non-EPP), please visit http://bit.ly/hsonpay for the full list of payment options.

For Asset Link and Home Loans, please fund your nominated account under your auto-debit arrangement

9. I am also affected by Typhoon Odette but my area is not among the list of qualified areas listed in FAQ no. 2. How can I avail of the Payment Holiday?

Please call us at +63288580000 so that we can discuss payments options with you.

With the renaming of HSBC Advance to HSBC Personal Banking, we are progressively phasing out the HSBC Advance branding. While you may see some HSBC Advance branding after February 15, 2022, any mention of HSBC Advance will mean HSBC Personal Banking and will have no impact on the usage of your account and services.

 

HSBC Personal Banking

We will stop offering new Advance accounts starting January 15, 2022 and new Advance credit cards starting February 15, 2022. New customers may open an HSBC Personal Banking account instead, starting January 15, 2022.

  • What is HSBC Personal Banking?

HSBC Personal Banking offers simple financial solutions and digital capabilities to help our customers build financial stability.

  • Eligibility Requirements for new customers:

Credit your monthly income of at least Php50,000 gross (or its foreign currency equivalent) into your HSBC account. Simply present valid income proof (Certificate of Employment).

  • Features:

Online Banking: Enjoy 24/7 access to your HSBC Personal Banking account wherever you are and take control of your finances conveniently. Keep track of your transactions, transfer funds, pay bills and access other online features.

Free ATM withdrawals nationwide: Access your funds at any HSBC, or Bancnet ATM in the Philippines, free-of-charge.

What will happen to my existing Advance account? What do I need to do?

As an existing Advance customer, your account will be re-named as an HSBC Personal Banking account effective February 15, 2022. You're not required to do anything nor submit any new forms. As an existing customer, the eligibility requirement for new customers won't apply, meaning you won't need monthly credits of at least Php50,000 gross (or its foreign currency equivalent) into your HSBC account. If you're an existing Advance via Salary customer, the same eligibility requirements apply. You can keep your existing banking product with HSBC and continue to use our various services. If you have an existing HSBC Advance Debit Card, you can also continue to use your card until it expires where you'll be issued a new debit card for replacement.

 

Please refer to this for Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

Enrollment to Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater (ABU)

HSBC Mastercard credit cardholders will automatically be enrolled into Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) starting July 24 2020. This is a new service by Mastercard wherein changes to your credit card number and card expiry will be securely shared with participating merchants for your card-on-file transactions (ie. e-commerce or recurring payments). This is to avoid transaction declines due to changes on your credit card details and is consistent with the Credit Card Terms and Conditions. 

FAQs:

Q: What is Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater?

Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) is a new service of Mastercard that helps you avoid transaction declines due to changes in card number or card expiry changes with your card-on-file (ex. e-commerce or recurring payment) merchants.

 

Q: How does the Mastercard ABU service work?

You usually provide your account details to merchants for recurring payments or to save these for a faster e-commerce experience. Currently, if there are changes to the card number or expiry date, you are required to update the new account details with all the merchants. Now, Mastercard ABU will provide this convenience to you. It allows your updated account details to be provided to participating merchants on your behalf to avoid transaction declines.

 

Q: What are some examples of card-on-file payments?

This may include:

  • Payments processed using a card number you saved with a merchant such as online merchants or digital wallets, or
  • Recurring payments you may have enrolled with a merchant such as utilities, telecommunication providers, insurance companies, gym memberships, etc.

 

Q: Will all my card-on-file payments be automatically updated with my card information?

No not for all, Mastercard ABU is only available to participating merchants. You will have to check with your merchant to ensure that your card information is updated, and that your bills are paid on time.

 

Q: Who are the participating merchants? 

Merchants sign up directly with Mastercard and the list of participating merchants is subject to updates. Please check with your merchant directly to confirm if they are part of the list. 

 

Q: Will my Auto Charge enrolments be enrolled under Mastercard ABU?

No, but if your card number changes due to a card upgrade or conversion, then your new card number will be enrolled under your existing Auto Charge enrolment.

 

Q: When will my card details change? 

Your card details such as your card number and card expiry will change if you are issued a new card due to card renewal or when the old card is lost or stolen. 

 

Q: Is Mastercard ABU applicable to all HSBC Credit Cards?

ABU is currently only applicable to HSBC Mastercard Credit Cards.

 

Q: Can I request not to be enrolled into the Mastercard ABU?

Yes you can. Please call our hotline at (02) 8858-0000 or (02) 7976-8000

Important Update on Auto Debit Arrangement for HSBC Credit Cards

Please be advised that, starting May 20, 2019 onward, for HSBC Credit Cards enrolled under the Auto Debit Arrangement (ADA), the enrolled HSBC bank account will be debited by 6PM on the day of your due date (instead of early morning on the due date). Kindly ensure that your account has available* funds by this time to avoid any possible late fees or finance charges on your account. 

If you wish to enrol your account under the Auto Debit Arrangement (ADA), kindly coordinate with your branch of account.

*Available funds mean unencumbered and cleared funds

Important Update on Credit Card Terms and Conditions

Please be advised on the following Credit Card Terms and Conditions changes, effective June 6, 2019:

  • Changes on Finance Charge computation
Under Section #14: Calculation of Finance and Other Charges
Current New

Finance charges, at HSBC's prevailing rate, will be levied using the average daily balance method upon your opening balance and all new transactions within the statement period accrued from the transaction date until the end of the current statement period

 

The finance charges, at HSBC's prevailing rate, will be imposed using the average daily balance method upon your unpaid outstanding balance as of statement cut-off date, excluding new retail transactions made in the current billing cycle, accrued from the statement cut-off date until the outstanding balance and applicable interest are fully paid. 


For fees*, charges and pre-terminated instalments, finance charges will be imposed using the average daily balance method upon the fee/charge/pre-terminated instalment amount accrued from transaction date until the fee/charge/pre-terminated instalment is fully paid.


For cash advance transactions, finance charges, at HSBC's prevailing rate, will be imposed using the average daily balance upon your transaction from the transaction date until the transaction is fully paid.

Any amount unpaid as of the Payment Due Date shall be deemed payable on the next Payment Due Date unless YOU opt to re-avail of YOUR credit line for the next billing cycle by paying an amount less than the Total Due but not less than the Minimum Amount Due.

 

*Excluding service fee for foreign currency transactions for Visa credit cards.

  • Updated the clause on application of credit card payments to indicate the order in which payments will be applied to an account
    Under Section #13: Card Payment, Delinquency and Default

YOUR payments shall be applied to the account in the order of Instalment, Cash Advance and Other Retail Transactions:

Billed Finance Charge

Billed Cash Advance Fee

Billed Late Fee

Billed Membership Fee

Billed Overlimit Fee

Billed Handling Fee

Billed Non-sufficient Fund Fee (ie. Returned Cheque Fee)

Billed Card Insurance Premium

Billed Principal

Should there be any excess payment after all billed balances have been settled, the excess payment will be applied to your unbilled balances as they are posted on your account, following the same order.

  • Updated the wording on the assignment of due date, if it falls on a weekend or a regular national holiday
    Under Section #12: Monthly Statement and Payment of Charges

 

You may refer to the updated Credit Card Terms and Conditions (effective June 6, 2019) and Credit Card Fees and Charges Table.

Important Update on EUR-denominated Fund Transfers

Starting 11 February 2019, all EUR-denominated fund transfers to be sent to HSBC Savings Bank accounts should use SWIFT code HBPHPHMM.

This change is because fund transfers in EUR denomination will be routed to our new correspondent bank, HSBC France (instead of HSBC UK).

If you are expecting to receive EUR-denominated remittances into your HSBC Savings Bank accounts, please inform the sender to use SWIFT code HBPHPHMM to ensure you receive your payments.

If you will be sending money from your account, there will be no change in the way you currently experience fund transfers, whether it's via HSBC online banking, mobile banking, or your branch of account.
