Interest on Credit Card Accounts

Cash Advances

Cash Advances refer to any cash related payments, including but not limited to ATM withdrawals, top-ups to non-HSBC accounts/cards, cash withdrawn over the counter, purchase of gaming chips, cryptocurrencies, traveller's cheques, foreign currency and transfer of funds from credit card accounts. Please note that interest is charged on the balance on your card (which would include transaction fees as well as other card related fees) from the date on which the transactions and related fees are posted to the account, until the date on which the balance is paid in full.

Purchases

We do not charge interest on any purchases (excluding Cash Advances) if you repay the full amount you owe to us within the 56 days' grace period (ie if you repay the full amount you owe to us on that statement date by the next payment due date). We do not charge interest on any purchases shown in a statement if you repay the full amount you owe to us within the 56 days’ grace period (i.e. if you repay the full amount you owe us on that statement date by the next payment due date). However, if you do not settle your outstanding full purchase amount within the grace period, we will charge interest from the date that transaction was added to your account until the amount you owe us has been repaid in full. Interest will be calculated on a daily basis and worked out on the basis of a 360-day calendar year.

Annual Rate

The rate of interest shall be 5.75% p.a. over the Bank's Base Rate, presently 2.50% p.a., the current effective rate being 8.25% p.a., calculated on the daily debit balance. This means that assuming a credit limit of €1000 the Annual Percentage Rate 'APR' will be 8.7%.

These rates and tariffs are also in conjunction with the General Tariff.
