Card security

Here are some easy and effective ways to protect your card and PIN from fraud.

Being vigilant will keep you protected from fraudsters

  • Never divulge your PIN to anyone, not even the bank or police.
  • Always use your hand as a shield while entering your PIN to keep it as a secret.
  • Be aware of others around when using an ATM machine, particularly at night, and avoid using an ATM if suspicious looking individuals are hanging around.
  • Do not take advice from 'helpful' strangers that happen to be standing near an ATM, especially if your card has been unexpectedly retained.
  • If anything looks suspicious or unusual when you are at the ATM then do not use it. Instead either alert a member of staff if available or move a reasonable distance from the machine and call the police.
  • If you realise the ATM has been tampered after you have inserted your card, contact HSBC while still standing at the cash machine if it is safe to do so.
  • Contact HSBC immediately if your card is unexpectedly retained by an ATM. Please also ensure to save HSBC's phone number into your mobile.
  • On completing a transaction, discreetly put your money and card away before leaving the cash machine.
  • Check your statements regularly for any transactions you do not recognise and report them to HSBC immediately.
