Second credit cards

A second credit card could be useful if your borrowing needs have changed.

Who can have a second card?

If you already hold an HSBC UK credit card, you can apply for a second credit card with us. You must not have opened a new HSBC credit card within the past 6 months and you must not be applying for a credit card that you already hold. You won't be able to transfer your balance between HSBC cards, including First Direct or M&S Bank.

Flexibility to help meet your needs

Make new purchases

Your new card will have its own credit limit, so you'll be able to use it independently of your first one.

Keep track of separate expenses

Prefer to keep your household spending separate from your personal spending, for example? A second card could help you keep everything tidy.

Take advantage of reward points

Transfer balances from other cards

If your existing HSBC card isn't designed to receive a balance from a card you have with another provider, check our balance transfer card to see if it suits your needs.
Which card are you interested in?
Remember, your second HSBC card needs to be a different one from your first card.

Additional information

Disclaimer 

Balances can’t be transferred from all cards. For example, cards issued by members of the HSBC Group, including HSBC UK, first direct and M&S Bank are excluded.

At the end of any promotional period, balance transfers and purchases will revert to the standard variable rate.

If you have an HSBC UK credit card, you’re eligible to apply for another if you haven’t applied for an HSBC credit card within the past 6 months, and the card isn’t the one you currently have.
