Update to online card transaction authorisation - from 30 October 2025

Approving your online card transactions is moving from SMS one-time passcodes (OTPs) to in-app authentication in the HSBC UAE app.

You'll no longer get SMS OTPs when shopping online. Instead, you'll get secure push notifications on your device to approve or decline transactions in our app.

Please make sure you download our app and enable push notifications in your device settings.

Update to Travel Plans for credit and debit cards – from 16 July 2025

Travelling abroad? Set up a Travel Plan in our app to avoid issues with your card transactions, and reduce the chance of them being declined.

To set up a Travel Plan from 16 July onwards, just log on to the HSBC UAE app, then select 'Support' and 'Chat with us'. Type 'I want to update a Travel Plan', and follow the on-screen instructions.

New overdraft facilities – from 27 March 2025

From 27 March 2025, we'll no longer be offering overdrafts to new customers. This applies to unsecured overdrafts, as well as overdrafts secured against Term Deposits. If you already have an overdraft with us, it won't be affected.

We'll still be offering our investment financing facility, which won't be affected by this change
