Lost, stolen or misused HSBC UK card while overseas

If your card is lost, stolen or misused, act straight away. HSBC's line for customers outside the UK is +44 1442 422929.

1. Freeze the card in the HSBC app or online banking first. HSBC says you can freeze your cards 24 hours a day using the app or online banking, so you may not need to call.
2. If you cannot get online, call +44 1442 422929. HSBC lists this as the lost-card line for customers outside the UK.
3. Expect a possible charge. HSBC warns that you may be charged if you call from outside the UK, so check your rate before you dial.

HSBC Premier customers abroad

Existing HSBC Premier customers calling from outside the UK have a separate line. HSBC uses it for emergency help with a lost or stolen card.

HSBC says that if your card is lost or stolen, it can replace it within 36 hours.

Rates and what to expect

The 002call rate for both numbers in this post is $0.02 / min.

002call sends your call over the internet, so it skips the international call charges your carrier and hotel phone would add. There is no subscription, and you pay only for the minutes you use. If you are abroad, Wi-Fi avoids mobile data charges.

HSBC's warning on the lost-card line says calls from outside the UK may be charged. Calls from mobiles, public phones and hotel rooms may attract extra charges on top of the rate.

Before you call

• Have your HSBC details and the last digits of the card to hand.
• Keep your HSBC app or online banking login ready, so you can freeze the card while you wait.

Why 002call is the smart way to call

002call sends the call over the internet from your browser, so it skips the international call charges that a carrier or hotel phone adds. At $0.02 / min, a 20-minute call on a lost-card line costs $0.40, with no subscription.
