WHEN AND HOW TO PAY 

You agree to: 

• pay at least the Minimum Payment Due as described in Part 2, and as shown on your billing statement; and 

• make this payment in time to be credited by no later than the Payment Due Date. 

If you wish, you may pay more than the Minimum Payment Due or the entire balance at any time. 

Instructions for making timely payments are shown on your billing statement. 

Payments must be: 

• made in U.S. dollars; and 

• paid from a U.S. bank or other U.S. financial institution; and 

• sent in a form that is acceptable to us. 

Acceptable forms of payment include: 

• a check or money order; or 

• an electronic funds transfer 

If you want to write any special conditions on your payment, such as “paid in full”, “without recourse”, or similar language, 
you must mark this clearly on your payment. Send this payment to the special address on your statement. This address is 
called the “Billing Inquiry” address. 

Unless you follow the above directions, we may accept a payment marked with special conditions and not agree to those 
conditions, and will not lose any of our rights. 

By sending us a check for payment on your Account, you authorize us either to: 

• use information from your check to initiate an electronic fund transfer from your payment account according to the terms 
of the check; or 

• to process this transaction as a check. 

When we use your check to make an electronic fund transfer: 

• funds may be withdrawn from your payment account the same day we receive your payment; and 

• you will not receive your check back from your bank. 

When you use our optional payment by phone service, you agree that: 

• we may make an electronic funds transfer from the bank account you choose; or 

• we  may  process  the  payment  the  same  way  we  would  process  a  check. 

You  authorize  the  amount  and  timing  of  each  payment.  Please  retain  this 

authorization for your records. 

If you have a returned payment: 

• the amount you paid will be added back to your Account and may be applied to a different category than originally 
posted. (e.g. cash advance, purchases, etc.); and 

• Interest Charges may be restored back to the payment date at the APR for that transaction. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
INTEREST RATES 

ABOUT YOUR APRS 

Your APRs are shown in Part 2. 

A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing cycle. To determine this rate, we divide 
your APR by 365; then round this number up to the next hundred thousandth of a percentage point. 

PROMOTIONAL OR INTRODUCTORY APR 

We may offer you special Promotional or Introductory APRs from time to time. 

If we do, we will tell you: 

• the eligible transaction types; 

• how long this APR will last; and 

• any other special terms of the offer. 

HOW A VARIABLE RATE MAY CHANGE 

Your variable APRs can change with each monthly billing cycle. 

We will apply each APR to the applicable balance for each type of 

transaction. Each variable APR will be equal to: 

a) the amount shown in Part 2 (“Spread”); plus 

b) the U.S. “Prime Rate” as defined below. 

The Prime Rate will be as shown in the Money Rates table of The Wall Street Journal that is in effect on the last day of 
the month. 

Any changes in the Prime Rate will take effect on the first day of your billing cycle beginning in the next month. 

An increase in the U.S. Prime Rate will increase your Daily Periodic Rates. It may also increase your: 

• Interest Due; and/or 

• Minimum Payment Due. 

ABOUT THE PENALTY APR 

If you do not make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date, we may increase your APRs to the Penalty 
APR. 

If this occurs: 

• we will provide advance notice before the Penalty APR goes into effect. 

• once the Penalty APR goes into effect, it will apply for at least 6 months. We review your Account every 6 months after the 

Penalty APR is applied. The Penalty APR will only appy to new transactions if your late payment is not more than 60 days late. 
If your payment is more than 60 days late, the Penalty APR will apply to both existing and new transactions. It will no longer 
apply if you make the next six consecutive minimum payments when due. If you do not make these next six consecutive 
minimum payments, the Penalty APR may continue to apply to both new and existing balances indefinitely. We will continue to 
review your Account every six months to determine if any Penalty APR should be reduced. 

INTEREST  CHARGES 

HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE CALCULATED 

To determine your periodic Interest Charges on each billing statement, we: 

• determine the Average Daily Balance for each type of transaction; (for example, purchases, balance transfers, and cash 

advances); then 

•  multiply this number by the applicable Daily Periodic Rate; then 
• multiply this number by the total number of days in the billing cycle. 

We use the applicable Daily Periodic Rate in effect on the billing statement closing date. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HOW DAILY BALANCE IS DETERMINED 

To determine your Daily Balance, we: 

• take the beginning balance for each type of transaction that day; then 

• add the following that were incurred on that day: 

a) any new transactions; 

b) any  previous day’s periodic Interest Charges; 

c) any Finance Charges; and 

d) any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt cancelation fees, if these apply; 

then 

• subtract any  payments and/or credits. 

We also make any needed adjustments. For example: 

• If a transaction posts after, but occurs before the start of a billing cycle, we may adjust the amount above to include this 
transaction. It will be included as of the first day of the billing cycle in which it posts. 

• If your Account is subject to a grace period during the billing cycle, your payments will be subtracted from all Daily 
Balances in the current billing cycle. 

• If a transaction for a returned payment or a dispute resolved in our favor posts after the beginning of the billing cycle, we 
will make this adjustment: 

- the applicable Daily Balance(s) and any related Interest Charge calculations will be adjusted to include the transaction 
amount as of the date of the original payment or transaction. 

To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we: 

• add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then 

• divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle. 

PAYING  INTEREST 

Your Account has a grace period on purchases. Periodic Interest Charges begin accruing on purchases, balance 
transfers, cash advances, and credit card checks on the date of the transaction and continue to accrue until your balance 
is paid in full. However, no Interest will be charged on new purchases for any billing cycle when: 

• you paid your entire New Balance in the previous month on time; and 

• you pay your entire current month’s balance on time as well. 

TREATMENT OF FEES AND INTEREST 

Any fees or Interest will be added to your purchase balance unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. 

MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE 

If you are charged Interest, the charge will be no less than the Minimum Interest Charge listed in Part 2. The Minimum 

Interest Charge will be allocated to each balance category subject to an Interest Charge. 

BALANCE  TRANSFER  FEE 

This fee is shown in Part 2. This fee: 

• applies to balance transfers and credit card checks; and

• is added to the same balance as the balance transfer; and 

• is a Finance Charge.

• cash you get at an ATM; and 

• other “cash-like” transactions (such as money orders, traveler’s checks, 

casino chips, or lottery tickets) 

This fee is: 

• charged as of the date the transaction posts to your Account; and 

• added to the cash advance balance; and

This fee: 

• is only applicable to HSBC credit card Accounts providing overdraft protection to designated HSBC Bank deposit 
accounts; 

• applies if your Account is utilized to cover any overdraft on your designated deposit account; and 

• is computed on the amount of each overdraft transaction; and 

• is a Finance Charge. 

If you requested overdraft privileges: 

• we will lend you from your available cash advance credit limit the amount needed to cover any overdraft due to 

insufficient funds on the  HSBC Bank deposit account; 

•  we will transfer to the deposit account the amount of the overdraft, rounded to the next full dollar; 

• we may not make a transfer if you do not have sufficient unused credit available or are delinquent, in this case: 

- the overdraft will be subject to the usual deposit account rules and 

fees. 

•  we have the right to cancel this Account or your overdraft loan privileges at any time. 

FEES AND LIMITS 

The fees that apply to your Account are shown in the purchase balance unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. 

If charging any fee shown in Part 2 would exceed first-year fee limits set by law, we may charge an amount allowed by 

law. If we do this, it does not affect our ability to charge the full fee amount later. 

ANNUAL FEE 

If your Account has an Annual Fee, this amount is shown in Part 2. You agree that this fee will be charged to your Account 
while your Account is open. 

If you have not used your Account and you close it within 90 days of when it was opened, the Annual Fee will be 
refunded (if paid) or reversed. 

The Fee compensates HSBC Bank USA, N.A. in part, for Cardmember benefits provided or made available to you

in accordance with its operating regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the transaction is processed.

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement 

If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: 

HSBC Bank USA, N.A. 

PO Box 9, Buffalo, NY 14240 or at the address shown on your billing statement. 

In your letter, give us the following information: 

• Account information: Your name and account number.

• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.

• Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe
it is a mistake. 

You must contact us: 

• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.

• At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you
think is wrong. 

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any 
potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question. 

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 

When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 

1. Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter.

We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. 

2. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is
correct. 

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: 

• We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount.

• The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.

• While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance.

• We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. After we finish our investigation, one of two things will
happen: 

• If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that
amount. 

• If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and
fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as 
delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe. 

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still 
refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. 
We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know 
when the matter has been settled between us. 

If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is 
correct. 

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases 

If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in 
good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on 
the  purchase. 

To use this right, all of the following must be true: 

1. The purchase must have been made in your home State or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the
purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an 
advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.) 

2. You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a
check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify. 

3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with
the purchase, contact us in writing at: 

HSBC Bank USA, N.A. 

PO Box 9, Buffalo, NY 14240 or at the address shown on your billing statement. 

While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as decision. After we finish our investigation, we will 
tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent. 

Missouri Residents: Oral agreements or commitments to loan money, extend credit or to forbear from enforcing 
repayment of a debt including promises to extend or renew such debt are not enforceable. To protect you 
(borrower(s))  and us (creditor) from  misunderstanding or disappointment, any agreements we reach covering 
such matters are contained in this writing, which is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement 
between us, except as we may later agree in writing to modify it.

INTEREST RATES 

ABOUT YOUR APRS 
A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing cycle. To determine this rate, we divide 
your APR by 365; then round this number up to the next hundred thousandth of a percentage point. 

HOW A VARIABLE RATE MAY CHANGE 
Your variable APRs can change with each monthly billing cycle. We will apply each APR to the applicable balance for 
each type of transaction. 

Each variable APR will be equal to: 
a) the amount shown in Part 2 above (“Spread”); plus
b) the U.S. “Prime Rate” as defined below.

The Prime Rate will be as shown in the Money Rates table of The Wall Street Journal that is in effect on the last day of  
the month. Any changes in the Prime Rate will take effect on the first day of your billing cycle beginning in the next month. 
An increase in the U.S. Prime Rate will increase your Daily Periodic Rates. It may also increase your: 
• Interest Due; and/or
• Minimum Payment Due.

Specific Rates and Fees may be determined based on your creditworthiness.

ABOUT THE PENALTY APR 

If you do not make your Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date, we may 
increase your APRs to the Penalty APR. 

If this occurs: 

• we will provide advance notice before the Penalty APR goes into effect.

• once the Penalty APR goes into effect, it will apply for at least 6 months. We review your Account every 6 months after the

Penalty APR is applied. The Penalty APR will only appy to new transactions if your late payment is not more than 60 days late.
If your payment is more than 60 days late, the Penalty APR will apply to both existing and new transactions. It will no longer
apply if you make the next six consecutive minimum payments when due. If you do not make these next six consecutive
minimum payments, the Penalty APR may continue to apply to both new and existing balances indefinitely. We will continue to
review your Account every six months to determine if any Penalty APR should be reduced.

INTEREST  CHARGES 

How Average Daily Balance is Determined : 
To determine your Daily Balance, we: 
• take the beginning balance for each type of transaction that day; then
• add the following that were incurred on that day:
a) any new transactions;
b) any previous day’s periodic Interest Charges;

c) any Finance Charges; and
d) any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt
cancelation fees, if these apply; then 
• subtract any  payments and/or credits.

To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we: 
• add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then
• divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.

Paying Interest: Your Account has a 25 day grace period on purchases. Periodic Interest Charges begin 
accruing on purchases, balance transfers, cash advances, and credit card checks on the date of the transaction and 
continue to accrue until your balance is paid in full. However, no Interest will be charged on new purchases for any billing 
cycle when: 
• you paid your entire New Balance in the previous month on time; and
• you pay your entire current month’s balance on time as well.

Minimum Interest Charge:  If you are charged Interest, the charge will be no less than the Minimum Interest 
Charge of $1.00. The Minimum Interest Charge will be allocated to each balance category subject to an Interest Charge. 

Balance Transfer Fee:  Either $10 or 4%, whichever is greater, will apply on each balance transfer and credit card 
check. 

Cash Advance Fee:  Either $10 or 4%, whichever is greater, will apply on each cash advance transaction. 

Overdraft Transaction Fee:  Either $10 or 4%, whichever is greater, will apply on the overdraft amount. 

FEES AND LIMITS 

Annual or Periodic Membership Fee:   $0 

Late Payment Fee:    The amount of the Late Payment Fee is shown below. The Late Payment Fee will not exceed the 
amount of your Minimum Payment Due. 

Late Payment Fee is $27 the first time your payment is late; and, if another payment is late during the next 6 billing cycles 
the Late Payment Fee is $37.

Over the Credit Limit Fee: $25. In no event will your Over the Credit Limit Fee exceed the amount you are over your 
credit limit when the fee is assessed. 

Returned Payment Fee: $25. In no event will your Returned Payment Fee exceed the Minimum Payment Due. 

Required insurance, debt cancellation or debt suspension coverage:  None
