These Additional Conditions cover the use by you and your cardholders of e-wallets and digital versions of your cards.

The Additional Conditions apply between:

  • ‘Us’, HSBC UK Bank plc.

These Additional Conditions apply in addition to the HSBC Kinetic Credit Card Agreement. If there’s a conflict between these Additional Conditions and any terms between us, these Additional Conditions will take priority in relation to use of e-wallets and digital versions of your cards.

2. Adding your card to an e-wallet

Only cardholders may add a card to a e-wallet on their own device or a device they alone control. By adding a card to a e-wallet the cardholder confirms that they:

  • Have the credit card account holder’s agreement to use it; and
  • Will use it in accordance with the HSBC Kinetic Credit Card Agreement and these Additional Conditions.

You may need to agree to separate terms with the e-wallet provider. These are independent of us and may govern the registration and use of the e-wallet (including the use of any data you may share with the e-wallet provider).

3. Security

You’re responsible for keeping your e-wallet safe and making sure it’s not used by unauthorised persons and/or for unauthorised purposes. You must:

  • Keep your mobile device safe by:

    —Choosing security details that aren’t easy to guess or work out;

    —Never sharing your security details with anyone;

    —Only registering your biometric data on your own device; and

    —Never activating a payment session on a linked device while someone else is using it.

  • Delete your card from your device before you pass it to someone else or dispose of it including when you sell it or get it repaired.

4. Chip and PIN following lost or stolen, renewal or replacement card

If your card has been lost, stolen, renewed or replaced you must make a chip and PIN transaction within the timeframes below to continue using the e-wallet. If you don’t your e-wallet may be deactivated.

  • Lost or stolen card – Within 30 days of the date of the letter accompanying your new card.
  • Renewed card – Before the expiry date shown on your old card.
  • Replaced card – Within 30 days of the date of the letter accompanying your new card.

5. Termination

We may, cancel or suspend the use of your e-wallet without prior notice if:

  • You don’t follow these Additional Conditions;
  • We suspect fraud, or that the security of your card and/or e-wallet has been compromised;
  • Your security details have not been kept safe;
  • We’re required, requested or entitled to do so under any agreement between us, including under our HSBC Kinetic Credit Card Agreement;
  • The e-wallet is withdrawn by the e-wallet provider;
  • We reasonably consider that by continuing to issue you with your card and/or e-wallet we may be at risk of breaching any applicable law, regulation, code, court order or other duty;
  • We reasonably consider that we or another member of HSBC Group may be exposed to action or censure from any government, regulator or law enforcement agency; or
  • You no longer have a HSBC Kinetic Credit Card with us.
