HSBC will allocate payments received from you to pay off the portion of your balance attracting the highest interest rate first and subsequently to portions of your balance attracting lower interest rates. This may mean applying any and all payments made to your HSBC Platinum Credit Card account to pay off other transactions such as purchases and cash advances before any balance transfer amount.
