If you have Global relationships with HSBC, we may send you a text message to confirm whether a card transaction has actually been made by you or to ask you to contact us regarding activity on your account, like a large bill payment.

But you need to be aware that fraudsters also send out text messages pretending to be us.

HSBC New Zealand currently issues 3 types of text messages to our customers.

1. We've temporarily blocked your mastercard as we've spotted an unusual transaction. Please contact HSBC 24/7 on 0800 028088 or +64 99188350 (charges may apply)

Any links in these messages will take you to a spoof website that may look like one of ours and will ask for your full login details. Please do not click on the link. The phone numbers quoted belong to Fraudsters and they will answer the phone like HSBC. Fraudsters can mimic our genuine message tags so that their messages appear in the same text conversation as a genuine message you’ve received previously.
