yeah but what about the monthly charges? They’d add up into the negative……..wouldn’t they chase you for that?

Who pays a monthly charge with HSBC? just downgrade to HSBC One and it's free. Cancel that Visa though.

FWIW, I closed my credit card by making an enquiry through the on-line chat function on the "Contact Us" page of the HSBC internet banking website. It was simple and the account was closed within days. I haven't yet closed my savings account, but I transferred all the funds overseas a couple of years ago and have not been charged for keeping the account open.
