Apply for another card

If you're new to the UAE, you won't have built up a credit history here yet, which can make getting a new credit card a hassle. But with HSBC, you can use the credit history you've built up elsewhere, making it easier to get a card here in your new home.

At present, you can share your credit history from any of the following countries:

Australia
Canada
Dominican Republic
India
Kenya
Mexico
Nigeria
Philippines
Spain
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States

To use your international credit history, just apply for your credit card like normal. If you're eligible, we'll ask you during your application if you'd like to share your credit history with us.

More about using your international credit history

If you do not meet the repayments/payments on your loan/financing, your account will go into arrears. This may affect your credit rating, which may limit your ability to access financing in the future.
