HSBC to debit my credit card account for any fees, charges, interest, etc. I irrevocably confi rm that all dues in respect of the HSBC Credit Card utilised for services availed of and

reference agencies and such information (including processed information) may be shared with banks/fi nancial institutions and other credit grantors for the purposes of assessing
further applications for credit by you and/or members of your household, and for occasional debt tracing and fraud prevention. I accordingly authorise HSBC to share information
