Our verdict

HSBC Hong Kong's Mastercard Debit Card carries a monthly fee of HKD 0 and a currency conversion fee of 0%, so it suits anyone in Hong Kong who spends in several currencies. The trade-off shows up in the extras: the free ATM withdrawal allowance is HKD 0, so cash comes with a charge.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Multi-currency and travel features across 12 currencies, with cash back at 0.4%.
  • Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, so a blocked card or a query has more than one route to an answer.
  • A Mastercard network card from The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, a bank founded in 1865, so acceptance abroad is straightforward.

Cons

  • It is aimed at kids, with kids the only listed audience (kids), so it sits outside everyday banking for adults.
  • A free ATM withdrawal allowance of HKD 0 means cash withdrawals can cost you, and the card ranks at 44 of 124 brands on that measure.
  • The reward rests on a cashback rate of 0.4%, with no points or miles listed alongside it.

Who it suits

  • Anyone in Hong Kong who spends abroad, given a currency conversion fee of 0% across 12 currencies.
  • Parents banking for a younger child, since the listed audience is kids.

Who should look elsewhere

  • UK and European readers who want a locally listed account, since Wise charges a monthly fee of £0 and this card is issued in Hong Kong.
  • People who want a credit card rather than a debit card: Varo Believe Secured Credit Card has a monthly fee of $0 and is a secured credit card.

How it compares on our data

On our data the card ranks at 44 of 124 brands for free ATM withdrawals, 1 of 258 for currency conversion fee and 1 of 422 for monthly fee. Both pricing measures sit at the top of the site table, while cash withdrawals are the weak spot.

Fees and FX

The debit card carries a monthly fee of HKD 0 and a currency conversion fee of 0%, so spending in another currency costs the same as spending in Hong Kong dollars. For anyone who travels or holds several currencies, that pair removes the two charges that usually drive the running cost of a debit card.

Frequently asked questions

What does the HSBC Hong Kong Mastercard Debit Card cost to hold?+

The monthly fee is HKD 0 and the currency conversion fee is 0%, so holding the card and spending in another currency adds no charge from the bank's side. It is a debit card, so spending draws directly on the account balance rather than a credit line.

Who issues the card and which regulator covers the bank?+

The card is issued in Hong Kong by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is the listed regulator for the brand. Readers outside Hong Kong should treat it as a local card rather than a global one, since both the issuer and the regulator sit in the Hong Kong market.

Can I take out cash for free at ATMs?+

The free ATM withdrawal allowance is HKD 0, so treat cash machines as a cost rather than a free service and check the operator's charge before withdrawing. On our data the card sits at 44 of 124 brands on that measure.

How many currencies can I spend in?+

The card covers 12 currencies and is built for multi-currency and travel use (multi currency and travel), with a currency conversion fee of 0%. A Hong Kong resident travelling abroad can hold and spend several currencies without paying a conversion charge on each purchase.

Who is this card aimed at?+

The listed audience is kids, so the card is built for a younger account holder rather than general family banking. The cash back rate is 0.4%, and the multi-currency and travel features (multi currency and travel) point it at people who move money across borders.

How do I get help if the card is blocked?+

Support runs on chat, phone and help centre, covering chat, phone, a help centre and a community. Card and account questions in Hong Kong can be handled on any of those channels, and the account sits with a single Hong Kong issuer, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.
