HSBC Credit Card PIN

Each credit card ordinarily comes with a four-digit personal identification number or PIN that is picked keeping in mind the user’s preference and is used to verify their identity. As a credit card cardholder, your HSBC credit card PIN is vital as it serves as a layer of protection preventing your card from being used without your consent.

HSBC Credit Card PIN Generation

HSBC credit card PIN generation has never been easier. In order to abide by safety protocols, HSBC credit cards are delivered to their recipients in a deactivated state.

  • In order to activate your HSBC credit card, you are required to call customer care on the toll-free number mentioned here – 1800 103 4015.

  • Else, you can activate it with the aid of an ATM PIN which activates your HSBC credit card at an HSBC ATM.

  • Should neither of the above methods suit you, you can activate your credit card PIN via any PIN-based transaction.

 

It is important to note that your PIN is sent to you via an SMS to your registered mobile number within 3 days of your HSBC credit card having been issued to you. Due to this fact, you aren’t required to generate your PIN at the time you receive your HSBC credit card.

HSBC Credit Card PIN Safety: Things to Keep in Mind

1. Selecting a Credit Card PIN

When selecting your credit card PIN (HSBC), it is important to be conscious of the following.

  • Do not select a PIN that has a straightforward, easy sequence such as 4321 or 6789.

  • Do not repeat the same digits consecutively i.e., 6658 or 5589.

  • Do not use important figures that pertain to your real-life such as your birthday or anniversary as your PIN.

  • Do not use a portion of any form of an identification number (for example - Aadhar, passport, PAN), credit card, or telephone as your PIN.

  • Consider using the word method to select an appropriate PIN for your credit card. Under this method, each letter corresponds to a number based on its location in the alphabet. This implies A = 1, I =11, and so on.

  • Should you choose to use a date for your PIN it should be one that isn’t related to you in any way.

  • Should you choose to use part of a telephone number make sure it’s the telephone number of someone who isn’t directly related to you.

2. Keeping your Credit Card PIN Secure

It is paramount to abide by the following norms such that your credit card is safe at all times.

  • Never leave your credit card unattended and always cut the magnetic strip or chip of your credit card prior to discarding it.

  • Make it a point to never write down your PIN or save it on an electronic device as either of these two measures could be viewed by others.

  • Do not share your PIN with anyone.

  • Always cross-check the safety terms of merchant sites and make sure they are sufficient prior to sharing your PIN online for transactions carried out on the internet.

  • Should you run into any doubts don’t hesitate to reach out to an HSBC branch closest to you.

  • Always pay attention to each of your billing statements such that you can spot any unauthorized transactions on your card should there ever be any.
