A digital wallet, also known as an e-wallet, stores all your payment details in one location. It can make it simpler for you to make cashless purchases online and in shops.

If you’re an HSBC Corporate cardholder, you can now add your HSBC Corporate Card to Google Wallet.

A digital wallet can make payments quicker. This offers:

• A single location for all your payment information, so you no longer need to remember several passwords and PINs
• Convenience – you can leave your actual wallet at home if you don't want to carry it around
• The ability to make payments online without having to fill in your payment details every time you want to make a purchase

Using Biometric log on, such as your fingerprint or your face, are a secure way to log on to your mobile device.

Digital wallets use authentication and data encryption to protect your personal information, unlike a traditional wallet where someone can access your cards if they take it.

However, if you use a digital wallet, you should still take extra safety measures to keep your information safe.

These can include:

• Using a PIN or fingerprint identification protection on your smartphone
• Being vigilant about keeping track of card transactions made from your digital wallet.

HSBC Corporate Cards eligible for Google Pay, subject to status, are the following:

Google Pay is a secure way to make payments. When you pay using Google Pay, your actual HSBC Corporate Card number is not shared with your payment. Instead, a tokenised card number is used to represent your card payment information, so your card details stay safe, and your information stays secure.

To protect your card:

You must not choose a Google Pay PIN that can be easily guessed by anyone else or tell anyone else what your device passcode is; and you must ensure that you do not store anyone else's fingerprint within your Android device.

One-time passcode:

For security purposes, we may ask you to enter a one-time passcode to confirm your identity. This code is a unique series of numbers and will be sent via text. Once received, please enter the one-time passcode into the appropriate field.
