Frequently asked questions
HSBC reviews and assigns a suitable credit limit to customers based on several factors, provided at the time of their applications (including declared income and credit information center (CIC) information). Generally, the credit limit at HSBC varies from the minimum of VND9 million and maximum of VND1 billion, depending on the time of customer’s application and card type.
We will review your credit limit from time to time and will adjust your credit limit if you are eligible.
However, if you want to increase your credit limit, you may also complete a request form for a credit limit increase and return it to us with the income proof for the past 3 months for further processing. We will then assess it for eligibility.
