HSBC CC instant decision?

Hey,

Does anyone know if HSBC give instant decision on their credit cards?

I have a current and savings account with them already.

Thanks in advance

    I believe they do. Not 100% sure though. There shouldn't be any problem if you're already banking with them.

    Best bet for an instant decision would probably be to telephone them although I know you can get £20 cashback via Quidco

    I don't bank with HSBC and I was given an instant decision - they made it clear they didn't want my custom straight away!!

    Luckily others did! :rolleyes:

    I got an instant 'Yes' on-line, and was advised to take all my ID documents into my local HSBC which I did.

    The Card and Pin arrived within 4 days and a good limit as well, and I dont bank with HSBC.

    I was impressed with them, mind you that doesn't take much these days..........

    No they didn't which was a bit annoying as I want to BT 2.5k but there is a section on the form to fill out to do a BT so hopefully they will do it all.

    Will keep you updated

    Take the forms and proof of ID to your local HSBC, you will get the card in a couple of days and they will tell you your credit limit............
