HSBC offers a variety of credit card options, including:

  • Low interest 
  • Low fees
  • Low credit limit
  • Balance transfer
  • Rewards program
  • Frequent flyer program
  • Travel privileges
  • Platinum 

HSBC credit cards come with a wide range of interest rates, from their low interest credit cards to their platinum rewards cards. They also offer customers the option of low fee credit cards and low credit limit cards.

HSBC also offers points chasers the option of its rewards program or frequent flyer program (linked to Qantas). Some credit cards also come with complementary travel insurance. 

However, points may be capped at a certain limit per statement, so keep this in mind if you’re trying to earn as many points as possible.

HSBC offers credit cards for almost every customer. As with the bigger institutions, there may be smaller credit card providers which offer lower purchase rate options. However, choosing a HSBC credit card is also about choosing a provider with access to multiple forms of customer service, not just in Australia but across the globe. 

For Aussies who rarely, if ever, pay interest on their credit cards, HSBC’s low fee credit card may be a competitive choice. If you’re not having to worry about paying interest, then keeping down fees may be a good idea to keep credit card costs down overall. 

HSBC offers customers a rewards program, as well as a frequent flyer program with an affiliation with Qantas, Australia’s largest airline. The ability to earn platinum services and frequent flyer points through Qantas may be a draw for Aussies who frequently travel. 

Speaking of travel, HSBC also offers complimentary domestic and international travel insurance on some of its credit cards. This can be a helpful resource as travel insurance is often quite costly.
