Limits on overseas transactions
We are currently experiencing a situation where clients looking to buy foreign currency exceed those looking to sell foreign currency into LKR. This requires customer demand to be managed via order management in line with customer fairness principles. However, for your convenience, transactions below the thresholds given will continue to be processed automatically.
Maximum weekly foreign currency spend (overseas and online) on HSBC credit and debit cards will be capped as follows.
| Card Type | Weekly amount |
|---|
| HSBC Premier | LKR 150,000 |
|---|
HSBC Rewards, Advance, Cashback Platinum,
Platinum, Gold | LKR 75,000 |
|---|
The week will commence from midnight every Sunday till 11:59 PM on the following Sunday. These caps will not apply for Medical, Insurance, Education, Airline and Lodging categories. However a limit of LKR 1,750,000 on a monthly cumulative basis will be applied across these categories.
