Commercial Card Terms and Conditions changes

Dear Customer

We're making some important changes to our Commercial Card Terms and 
Conditions. The changes are set out at the end of this email and will apply 
from 2 August 2025, unless specified otherwise.

You'll be able to download the new terms at 
<http://email.business.hsbc.co.uk/r/?id=h351b42a,1833e26,10f6ef2> 
business.hsbc.uk/legal from the above date or you can ask for them to be 
posted to you. Please read the information carefully and keep it for future 
reference.

Why are we making these changes?

We're introducing a new feature for your Commercial Card – the Business 
Virtual Card. This feature allows you to issue digital virtual cards to your 
employees for business expenses. The Business Internet Banking (BIB) Primary 
User can register on our virtual card portal to create an account. Once 
registered, you can invite your employees to request virtual cards for 
business related expenses.

We'll be in touch to tell you more about virtual cards when we're ready to 
launch.

We're also making some other changes to the terms, which include:




•

explaining how we can end the agreement if your account is inactive and 
unused;


•

telling you about demising the card control feature in BIB; and


•

removing reference to the Business Banking Resolution Service.


What you need to do

If you accept these changes, you don't need to do anything - they'll be 
applied automatically.

However, if you don't accept the changes, you'll need to let us know before 
2 August 2025 and we'll arrange for your card agreement(s) with us to come 
to an end. You'll still have to pay any charges and transactions (including 
their associated fees or interest) that accrued before you ended your card 
agreement(s) with us.

We're here to help

If you have any questions about these changes, please speak with your usual 
contact (if you have one) or there are other ways you can get in touch:




•

Our Chat Assistant is available online and in our HSBC UK Business Banking 
app 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer common banking queries. If it 
doesn't help with your query, you can connect to an agent during opening

UK' app and call our number from within it.


Details of the changes we're making

We've tried to keep to the order of the agreement so you can see where the 
changes apply. Where we've given you new information, we've listed these at 
the top of the table.

Changes to Commercial Cards Terms and Conditions



What's changing?

How?


Business Virtual Card

We've updated our terms to reflect the Business Virtual Card available on 
your Commercial Card. This tells you who's responsible for registering on 
our virtual card portal and approving the issuance of any Business Virtual 
Cards. We don't charge an annual fee for any virtual cards issued.

In your new terms we've clarified that whenever we refer to 'cardholder', in 
addition to any physical cardholder, we also mean any person who's been 
issued a virtual card.

The new terms also explain how you can set card controls for Business 
Virtual Cards such as cancellation, spending limits and availability 
periods.

We've made it clear that as Business Virtual Cards are only available as a 
digital service, we'll only communicate with you about your virtual cards 
using the email address we have on record for you.


Card controls

We're removing the card controls feature available in BIB. This control 
allowed registered users to set controls on where cards can be used, and the 
maximum spend on a single transaction.


If we want to end it

We've explained that we can end the agreement if your account is inactive 
and unused for at least 1 year but we'll contact you to let you know.


Business Banking Resolution Service (BBRS)

We're removing the content about being able to refer complaints to the 
Business Banking Resolution Service because this has closed to new 
complaints from 13 December 2024.
