A supplementary debit card lets you safely share limited access to your account with a family member, without opening a joint account.
As the primary cardholder, you can manage your cash and purchase limits to protect your family’s finances. But the secondary cardholder can still make essential purchases and withdrawals on their own.
Benefits for you and your loved ones
- Apply for up to 5 supplementary debit cards for family members aged 14 years and above
- Set flexible daily or monthly spending and cash withdrawal limits
- Give family access to the HSBC ENTERTAINER app and up to 12% off on Agoda. Premier Signature and Global Private Banking debit cards also enjoy complimentary airport lounge access
- View all transactions on your monthly account statement
- Enjoy no fees for ordering new supplementary cards
