Apply for HSBC Credit Cards
HSBC credit cards provide a competitive product range with a focus on value. The HSBC no annual fee credit card delivers 0% on balance transfer for 6 months.
While they may have moved from “The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation” to a slightly less time-consuming name, one thing that HSBC has never changed is their commitment to delivering top quality savings to their customers. And as the world’s second-largest banking and financial services group, not to mention the second-largest publicly traded company, they are in a position to deliver savings like no other. So if you are looking for a new bank (which is actually an old bank) HSBC might be the right one for you.

HSBC Credit Card
Whilst HSBC is not amongst the ‘big four’ banks in Australia, it cannot be said to lack for size. HSBC, short for the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, is rated by Forbes as the second largest multinational bank in the world, and has thousands of branches across four continents. Thought the bank is orient in origin, it was officially founded, and its headquarters remain, in London. It is not a small bank and as expected, its credit card offers will not befit that of a small bank.
HSBC’s current credit card offer in Australia is just a single card – but it’s an extremely attractive compared to the rest of the market. It offers NO annual fees, No interest on balance transfers for the first six months, and a well below market interest rate on purchases. This card has a high pedigree, as it was rated by Money Magazine as the best transaction credit card in 2010.Whilst there’s little enough variation, so consumers wanting to customise or personalise their credit card experience may be left wanting, for shoppers looking for a great all round deal, the HSBC Credit Card is more competitive on the whole to almost every other card on the market.
HSBC is an outwardly looking multinational bank. Its first branches were opened in Asia (specifically Hong Kong and Shanghai), and whilst the decades have led to their focuses being more on Europe (half the bank’s assets are in Europe), it is increasingly looking to the Asia-Pacific to expand. Part of this expansion is targeted to Australia which is geographically, and increasingly culturally and economically as well, part of the Asia-Pacific. Though HSBC owns only 25 branches in Australia, HSBC Australia is in the midst of an aggressive expansion which aims to eventually have 100 branches in Australia.
