You can also withdraw cash from over one million cash machines worldwide.
And what's more, overseas cash machine withdrawals made with your HSBC Premier Contactless Debit Card do not incur ATM transaction fees.

Please view our General Price List and Interest Rates (PDF) for more details.
The HSBC Visa Debit Card now comes with Contactless technology.
Contactless allows you to make low value payments (currently up to £15 but increasing to £20 from 01 June 2012) with a simple tap of your card, just look for the Contactless logo at a retailer.
