“I needed a US card to pay for Claude Code and a few other AI tools, but my HSBC card kept getting blocked as a foreign transaction. Halocard gave me a US Visa credit card in minutes and there are no more declines.”

Already have an Octopus Card or HSBC card? Here's why you need Halocard
Real Visa credit cards issued from the USA
Hong Kong prepaid and debit cards are frequently declined by US merchants, AI platforms, and ad networks. With Halocard you can create virtual credit cards directly on the US Visa network — processed as domestic US transactions.
More virtual cards for every purchase
Create dedicated cards for AI subscriptions, online shopping, and advertising spend. Isolate costs and prevent billing surprises — something the Octopus Mastercard and RedotPay can't offer.
US billing address included
Every card comes with a US billing address (or choose to nominate your own) which is essential to access US-only services like Amazon US, Hulu, HBO Max, and more.
Private purchases separate from your bank
Halocard doesn't connect to your Hong Kong bank via Plaid or any third party. Your spending never appears on your HSBC, Hang Seng, or Standard Chartered statement — keeping your purchases private.
Why do Hong Kong cards often decline at US merchants?
Prepaid cards like the Octopus Mastercard and crypto debit cards like RedotPay are often flagged by US address verification systems (AVS) and declined as foreign transactions. Halocard solves this with US-issued Visa credit cards that process as domestic transactions, dramatically reducing the risk of declines.
10.2%
Average decline rate for debit cards. Cross-border transactions have an even higher failure rate of 15–25%.
3.8%
Average decline rate for credit cards. Domestic credit cards have higher acceptance and solve these problems.
