Important information

  1. For online payment transactions using EMV 3DS authentication and requiring one-time-password via SMS (SMS OTP), an SMS message containing the OTP will be sent to the cardholder’s registered phone number when making a payment. The transaction may be completed with the cardholder entering the required card information and the correct OTP. It's a secure way to verify it's the rightful owner of the HSBC credit or debit card making the payment. We therefore can't dispute this type of transactions for our customers. The cardholder will be responsible for any loss due to unauthorised transactions if they've voluntarily disclosed card information and OTP to a third party.
