Just arrived in the UK and need a credit card?
Your credit history doesn't need to stay behind when you move to a new country. We can help you to use it in your new home.
How we can help
Keep your credit history wherever you go
If you're new here, you won't have a UK credit history yet. But, with your permission, we can access your credit history in select countries, to help you apply for an 水果派AV credit card. Credit is subject to status. Representative 29.9% APR (variable).
Make the most of your HSBC relationship
If you鈥檙e an HSBC Premier customer, anywhere in the world, we'll make sure your history with us doesn鈥檛 get left behind when you move.
That way, when it comes to applying for a credit card, your relationship with HSBC will help to get you a limit that's appropriate for you.[@international-credit-report]
