Issuance of credit card is an exempted loan under the Money Lenders Ordinance, Cap. 163 Laws of Hong Kong.

Before you use your Card, please read this Agreement carefully. By using (which includes being approved with and activating) your Card, you will be considered to have accepted all the terms and conditions applicable to your Card as set out in this Agreement and will be bound by them. Use of your Card is also subject to the related provisions in any additional Terms and Conditions imposed by KDCL from time to time (if any) which may not be notified to you. The terms of this Agreement shall prevail if there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and such other Terms and Conditions (if any). The terms used in this Agreement are defined at the end.

1. Your responsibility

The Cardholder understands and acknowledges that the Card is issued to the Cardholder on the basis that the information provided by the Cardholder is and shall remain true, complete and accurate.

(a) You are responsible for the Card Account and all Card Transactions (including all related fees and charges). You are responsible even if:

  • (i) you do not sign a sales slip (including where a Card Transaction may be effected by telephone, mail, electronic means or direct debit arrangement without a sales slip or without your signature) or the signature on the sales slip is different from the signature on your Card; or
  • (ii) the Card Transaction is effected involuntarily. You remain liable even after the termination of your Card or this Agreement.

(b) You should not transfer your Card or PIN or allow any other person to use your Card or PIN.

(c) You should take appropriate security measures including the following:

  • (i) sign your Card as soon as you receive it;
  • (ii) keep your Card in a secure place and under your personal control. You should treat your Card as if it were cash;
  • (iii) keep a note of your Card number in a safe place, separate from your Card;
  • (iv) remember to take your Card from the ATM after use;
  • (v) make sure your Card is returned to you promptly after a Card Transaction;
  • (vi) when you receive notice of your assigned PIN, memorise the PIN and destroy the notice;

  • (x) DO NOT write down or keep the PIN on or close to your Card. You should disguise any record of the PIN;
  • (xi) DO NOT choose obvious numbers for the PIN (such as HKID card number, date of birth, telephone number or other easily accessible personal information);
  • (xii) DO NOT use the same PIN for other services or purposes (such as connecting to the internet or accessing other websites);
  • (xiii) always complete the ‘total’ box on the sales slip and put currency sign before the numerals. DO NOT leave space for other writing;

(d) You should report any loss, theft, disclosure or unauthorised use of your Card or PIN in accordance with Clause 5.

(e) If you are a primary cardholder, you should ensure that each Additional Cardholder uses and handles his Card and related matters in accordance with this Agreement. In particular, you should note that an Additional Cardholder may use or enjoy certain services and Card benefits relating to the additional Card even if you do not use or enjoy such services and Card benefits relating to your primary Card. In these cases, you should ensure that the Additional Cardholder uses or enjoys such services and Card benefits in accordance with this Agreement and other terms and conditions governing such services and Card benefits (if any).

2. Credit limit assignment and review

(a) Your Card carries a credit limit for purchases and cash advances. Please refer to your Card statement and/or any notice by KDCL for the applicable credit limit on that Card. You are required to comply with the credit limit on your Card.

(b) We set the credit limit and review it from time to time. We may set a different credit limit on your Card at any time as we consider appropriate, and without a prior notice to you. We set the credit limit based on periodic assessment of your credit risks associated with your Card Account (including any spending and repayment pattern), as well as the collateral(s) type and value you charge for us as pledge upon your application in accordance with Clause 13(c). In particular, we may reduce the credit limit without giving you advance notice. You may apply to us for review of the credit limit at any time.

(c) We set the credit limit on your Card in Hong Kong dollar.

(d) We may reject Card Transactions in excess of the credit limit. However, we also have discretion to allow such Card Transactions without notice to you, unless we have received and processed your request to opt out from our over-the-limit facilities. Even if we accept your opt-out request, certain Card Transactions in excess of the credit limit may still be allowed (each an “Excluded Card Transaction”). Excluded Card Transactions include any Card Transaction which is not immediately processed by us or does not require our authorisation for effecting payment. Examples of Excluded Card Transactions may include the following (or any of them) depending on the type of your Card:

After we have investigated in good faith and if the investigation result shows that your report was unfounded, we have the right to re-impose the finance charge or interest on the disputed amount over the whole period (including the investigation period). The result of our good faith investigation is binding on you.

Your liability for unauthorised transactions

(b) If you will be away from Hong Kong, you should make arrangement as appropriate to settle the Card Account before your departure.

We will also debit to your Card Account a percentage of the Card Transaction charged by us and any transaction fee (in full or in part) charged by MasterCard Worldwide to us. The same arrangement applies to a Card Transaction effected by you in a currency other than US dollar if your Card is a US dollar card.

If a deduction on account of tax or a similar charge or any other reason is required by applicable laws or regulations, or we are later obliged under applicable laws or regulations to return any money received by us in payment of the amount owing, you must make up the payment so that we receive the full amount owing under or in connection with this Agreement.
  • (ii) You agree that any termination of your Card is subject to the condition that no money that we received in payment of the amount owing will subsequently be returned or reduced under any applicable laws or regulations.

You will upon our request, deliver promptly evidence satisfactory to us that you have complied with applicable deduction or withholding obligations.
