HSBC Credit Cards comparison!

So yesterdays credit cards had mixed views; picks from both side of the fence.
Well today I shall compare various HSBC credit cards!

A standard HSBC credit card; the grey design is very simply and this credit card is issued to standard credit card bank account holders.

Those bank account owners slightly higher in teh ranks are entitled to the gold credit card accoutn variant. This is slightly more expensive a credit card and the gold design certainly shows this.

Finally; the platinum credit card. HSBC have shaken things up a little with this credit card opting for a red scheme and a twist on their usual planet credit card design. To great effect i must say!


As for a little about HSBC;

HSBC Holdings plc is a global banking and financial services company headquartered in Canary Wharf, London, United Kingdom^. As of 2010 it was the world's sixth-largest banking and financial services group and eighth-largest company according to a composite measure by Forbes magazine. It has around 7,500 offices in 87 countries and territories across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America and around 100 million customers. As of 30 June 2010 it had total assets of $2.418 trillion, of which roughly half were in Europe, a quarter in the Americas and a quarter in Asia.
HSBC Holdings plc was founded in London in 1991 by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation to act as a new group holding company and to enable the acquisition of UK-based Midland Bank.The origins of the bank lie in Hong Kong and Shanghai, where branches were first opened in 1865^. Today HSBC remains the largest bank in Hong Kong, and recent expansion in mainland China, where it is now the largest international bank, has returned it to that part of its roots.
HSBC is a universal bank and is organised within four business groups: Commercial Banking; Global Banking and Markets (investment banking); Personal Financial Services (retail banking); and Private Banking.
HSBC's primary listing is on the London Stock Exchange and it is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. It has secondary listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (where it is a constituent of the Hang Seng Index), the New York Stock Exchange, Euronext Paris and the Bermuda Stock Exchange. As of August 2010, it was the largest company listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a market capitalisation of £115.8 billion.
