Adding a cardholder

Additional cardholder benefits

Adding your partner, a family member or friend to your account is a simple way to get more from your HSBC credit card:

  • Additional cardholders enjoy many of the same benefits and protection as the main cardholder
  • All transactions are detailed on one statement
  • Premier cardholders can take advantage of Premier status and exclusive benefits with no extra fee

How to add a cardholder

Call us to request a card for an additional cardholder. We'll send you a form via a secure email link. Once you and the additional cardholder have filled in and signed the form, we'll process your application and send out a new card in the post.

It takes 2 to 3 business days for us to process your application once we have received it. We'll send the new card in 7 to 10 business days.
