• If it falls on the long public holidays such as Lunar New Year, please refer to the Bank’s notice (if any) to get the most updated information.

Example: The statement date of your HSBC credit card statement is 14^th monthly

• Statement generated in July 2023: 14 July 2023 falls on Friday, Statement Date is Sunday 16 July 2023, which is the preceding day before the next HSBC working day on Monday 17 July 2023.

The maximum interest-free period that you may enjoy for your purchases is 55 days from purchase date to payment due date, , provided that statement balance is made and received by the Bank on or before the Payment Due Date.  In case you pay the minimum payment amount or any amount which is greater than the minimum payment amount but less than the statement balance, the finance charge will apply. The financial charge will be accrued daily and be calculated from the transaction date to the date day end balance paid in full.

The table below provides an illustration about the maximum interest-free period.

Example 1:

• Your statement billing date is on 14th and payment due date is around on 08th of the next month. If you purchased an item on 15th July, this transaction would show on the statement of August 14th and the payment due date would be September 08th.

Example 2:

• Assuming the same example 1, if you purchased the item on 30th July, your payment due date would still be September 08th and the interest free period is less than 55 days.

When performing a cash advance transaction from your credit card account, there is a fee of 4% of the transaction value (minimum VND 50,000) at HSBC Vietnam ATMs.

You may also incur additional fees if you use other bank’s Visa/ Plus ATMs.

In addition, finance charges will apply to each Cash Advance transaction from the withdrawal date until all of the balance is repaid.

Besides the cash advance fee, finance charges will apply to each Cash Advance transaction from the withdrawal date until all of the balance is repaid. Please refer to Personal Banking Tariff in the Bank’s website for the latest finance charges.

Example: You withdraw via cash advance VND 2,000,000 at an HSBC ATM on August 1st. The cash advance fee is VND 80,000, and the finance charge will accrue from August 1st until the whole balance is repaid.

Each bank may label its accounts differently, so please take care when choosing the appropriate account:

If you use credit card to withdraw money from your linked accounts (saving or current account): please choose Checking or Saving/Current Account/Default Account.

You have 5 options to repay your credit card outstanding balance at the moment.  They are:

• Auto debit – this is the simplest and easiest way as you will never forget to pay on time. You may enroll for our direct debit service through which the pre-defined payment amount* (i.e. Minimum Payment Amount or Full Payment Amount) will be automatically debited from your HSBC bank account every month. You have to ensure your HSBC account has sufficient funds a day before payment due date.
  * The pre-defined amount includes the over limit amount (the balance amount exceeding the credit limit) from the statement date but not paid before the Payment Due Date.
  
  Notice:
  -    If you have processed Cash withdrawal transactions after the statement date but have not paid before the Payment Due date (**), the pre-defined amount after credited to your credit card will take payment priority for Cash withdrawal transactions (**) firstly.
  -    If you make credit card payment by yourself on payment due date but you did not notify Bank about stop or suspense Auto debit services in advance, the pre-defined amount is still deducted from your HSBC account if your HSBC account has sufficient fund.
  -    If you make credit card payment by yourself before payment due date but you did not notify Bank about this payment in advance, the pre-defined minimum payment amount will be not deducted from your HSBC account if your HSBC account has sufficient fund.
  -    If you don’t have sufficient fund in your HSBC account on payment due date, the auto debit will be failed. The system will re-run it for auto debit in case the card balance is not clear after 2 and 3 working days from payment due date. Please note that in case the system re-run it and the auto debit is successful, you are still responsible to pay any late fees and finance charge if any because the card balance is paid after payment due date.
• Transfer funds – you may transfer funds from your HSBC account to your credit card account through Online  Banking service / Mobile Banking app, or via our Contact Center.
• Cash payment – you may also make cash payment at counter of any nearest HSBC Branch/ Transaction office during office hours on weekdays.
• Bank transfer – you may transfer funds from other banks to your HSBC credit card account.
• Payoo – you may make payment for your credit card via Payoo’s network at any Payoo’s agent.
  

Yes, you may transfer from your foreign currency account to repay your credit card balance via ATM, Online Banking or auto debit. Note: with this repayment option, the foreign exchange rate will be applied.

Yes, you may repay the minimum payment amount as shown on your credit card statement on or before the due date.

The minimum payment due includes the following amounts:

1. 5% of the outstanding balance^* (minimum VND 50,000),
2. any installment repayment amount
3. the greater of the overdue amount or over limit amount.

^*The outstanding balance is statement balance amount less any installment repayment amounts

Yes, you may pay more than minimum payment amount on or before the payment due date.

Finance charges apply if you pay less than the statement balance by the payment due date (excluding cash advance which is subject to a different charging arrangements).

The illustration below provides an example:

1. 28 April: your beginning statement balance is zero. On this day, you made a purchase of VND 1,000,000.
2. 7 May: is your statement date - i.e., the day when your statement is generated. As the beginning balance as at 28 April was zero, and you made a purchase of VND 1,000,000, the statement balance as shown on your statement will be VND 1,000,000.
3. 10 May: you made another purchase of VND 500,000. The ending balance as at 10 May is VND 1,500,000.
4. 22 May: is the due date – i.e., the day when the Statement Balance amount is due for payment. On this day, you made a repayment of VND 600,000, leaving an ending balance of VND 900,000.
5. 7 June: is your next statement date.
   

In the example above, the finance charge will be calculated on the ending balance amount, on a daily basis and from the transaction date as follows:

• 12 days of finance charge from 28/4 to 9/5 on VND 1,000,000
• 12 days of finance charge from 10/5 to 21/5 on VND 1,500,000
• 17 days of finance charge from 22/5 to 7/6 on VND 900,000   

If you do not pay the minimum amount by the payment due date, a late charge (as defined in the credit card tariff) will be applied to your credit card, and finance charges will be applied on the whole statement balance as well as any subsequent purchase transactions.  

Assuming the same example as above question, if you do not pay the minimum amount by 22 May, finance charges will be applied on the ending balance amount on a daily basis from the transaction date as follows:

• 12 days interest from 28/4 to 9/5 on VND 1,000,000
• 18 days interest from 10/5 to 27/5 on VND 1,500,000
• 11 days interest from 28/5 to 7/6 on VND 500,000
  

You are encouraged to repay the minimum payment as this is a requirement of maintaining your credit card. If you do not pay the minimum payment due, your credit record will be adversely affected not only at HSBC but also at other banks.  

We will only process the automatic debit payment requests if you have sufficient funds in your account (this can be the minimum due or the full amount, depending on which option you’ve registered with us). If your account does not have sufficient funds, we will not debit the remaining amount from your account. You may consider repaying a smaller amount by funds transfer via Internet Online Banking service / Mobile Banking app or contact our Contact Center.

No. We currently offer this service where you would like to repay the minimum amount or full amount due (100%). If you would like to repay 50% of your statement balance, you may consider repaying this by funds transfer via Online Banking service / Mobile Banking app or contact our Contact Center.
