Two forms of identification are usually required in this country. A picture identification, and a credit card. It's a common occurrence these days to have a credit card. If you live in a college environment and have stood in line at the supermarket or theater, you surely have noticed even the younger generation has a credit card - from the bank of mom and dad.

But, what if you don't own a credit card? Many fall into that category because they have marginal or bad credit or classified as a minority. Such is the plight of the Native American Indian. Years ago, before several clever Nevada entrepreneurs came up with the idea of exploiting Indian gaming, the American Indian was relegated to living out a mundane existence on the reservation, unemployed, and the concept of these men, women and young adults was alcoholism, a dirty pickup truck, and houses made with mud bricks.

However, in the last two decades, with the boom of beautiful Indian Casinos, the stature of the American Indian has changed exponentially, and instead of being a second-class citizen in an anachronistic society in today's America, they are catching up. Job opportunities abound and the opportunity to qualify for a credit card.

HSBC bank is one of the world's largest financial institutions and largest credit card issuers with over 50 million customers. And now, with the advent of Indian Casinos offering gainful employment, the American Indian can finally live the credit card dream.

Indian Casinos provide more than a quarter million jobs to Native American Indians with wages paid exceeding 27 billion. A recent survey showed there are nearly 500 casinos operating in 29 states by 240 tribes. Now, the employed Indian men and women are thinking more about joining the credit card club.

HSBC is ready and willing to issue a credit card to all legal age American Indians with a minimum annual salary of $12,000, a telephone, valid social security number, and reside in the USA. Indian casino employment has been a tremendous help to American Indians, and HSBC is helping the cause, as well.
