Frequently Asked Questions About HSBC Charges

What is HSBC on my bank statement?

HSBC is listed in the Finance category. HSBC is a global bank with a large UK presence, and a charge from HSBC itself usually relates to account or packaged-account fees, overdraft interest, or international transfer costs. Non-sterling fees may also appear when spending abroad. Statements typically read HSBC or HSBC UK. It may appear on your bank statement under a shortened descriptor rather than its full name.

How do I cancel HSBC?

If this is a recurring payment you no longer want, log in to your HSBC account and cancel it in your account settings before the next billing date. If you recognise the merchant but have a question about the charge, contact HSBC directly using the details on this page. If you do not recognise this entry, contact your bank or card issuer and ask them to confirm the transaction and merchant details. Only you and your bank can confirm whether a payment was authorised.

Why does HSBC appear on my statement with a different name?

Banks display a short "transaction descriptor" set by the merchant's payment processor, not the company's full trading name. This is why HSBC may appear as an abbreviation or code. The descriptor is usually the company's registered payment name, which can differ from the brand name you recognise.
