Is current HSBC hks way of labeling checking?
Yes, it's the cheque account.
So, what do people think? Can we now throw away our UnionPay cards, assuming we transfer funds and autopayments over to main 001 Current our primary account? I feel I'm missing something, but I really want to get that extra card out of my wallet!
Sure, you can discard your unionpay card, but I suggest you retain it for travelling as a backup in the ultra rare instance that Plus doesn't work...
I received my Hang Seng UnionPay card and I wasn't able to withdraw cash at an overseas ATM that had a UnionPay logo. I think there will be a Hang Seng UnionPay fiasco this year.
Have you activated the overseas withdrawals? --- If you would like to use cash withdrawal services (including cash advance) at overseas ATM, you must activate the overseas ATM cash withdrawal function by setting the "overseas ATM daily cash withdrawal limit" and "activation period" in advance through Hang Seng Bank or HSBC ATMs in Hong Kong or other channels.- ref

This whole Union Pay thing sucks! Can't use the card in most countries in Europe either, outrageous!
UnionPay is not all bad. For a starter, it is cheaper to withdraw from an UnionPay ATM than from a Plus/Cirrus one overseas. If you are able to locate an ATM that supports UnionPay that is.
