Looks like it’s one for the very big spenders.
I can’t help seeing a pair of knickers stretched between corners of the top card
The mind boggles
For my first visit to England a bit over a decade ago, I’d gotten Bank of Ireland notes from a friend, and, as a first time visitor from the States, that was a fun time. I had one success, at a very overpriced Vietnamese place in London. After the third refusal I think I actually got a bit frustrated and called Bank of Ireland’s London branch to ask why this was happening, at which point I finally learned how to swap them out for Bank of England notes.
The HSBC UK Premier site has had a revamp.
Low and behold looks like the card has as well…
Apple Pay
Interesting to see they’ve dropped the purple branding on the Premier range.
Personally prefer the previous premier card design.
But now it’s just Barclays out of all the major banks that still have embossed debit cards.
What an ugly looking card. I’m glad my card is still valid for 5 years.
If Premier now ditched purple and is going red, what colour will Advance get?
Same, if we’re talking about the black one previous to the new design.
@BenC did this just automatically update?
Interesting. I thought they had to have the UK part to show it was a stand alone entity (or something like that).
Unless I’m just totally making something I heard up.
Edit: it’s this:
And the same card design on the website shows HSBC UK as well
Well then. Looks like I know what I’ll be doing for the next 10 minutes
Looks nicer in wallet to be fair. Curious about “accidentally” losing my card but can’t imagine it’ll be the new stock so soon. Might do it in a month.
I prefer the older Premier Debit card so I’ll leave my Apple Wallet well alone
It has vibes of HSBC Kinetic to me:
Not quite as much as I first thought, but if you showed me that design with no account moniker on it I’d have guessed it was an updated Kinetic card before I guessed it was a Premier card.
I think it helps that the HSBC logo is smaller. The surrounding text feels less squashed.
I tend to agree, not having seen the real version of the redesign. Looks so much nicer in Apple Pay, took me a few moments. Since I only ever pay using the physical card will be keen to see the plastic version.
It’s still called HSBC UK Bank plc. It’s only the cards that appear to have changed.

The image of the “physical” card on the HSBC website shows HSBC UK logo on it. And the refreshed Premier World Elite also does the HSBC UK logo.
How would one get the Bank Of Scotland Savings Card??
