For most transactions & tasks, it's really easy. A few "edge cases" aren't as easy.

As of today I can't open the HSBC app and get access to my account. when I open the app, it gives me an unspecified security "risk" on my mobile device and it wouldn't open. this app is beyond broken and it makes me want to switch banks.

Hi Serg! We’re sorry you’re having trouble accessing your account — we understand how frustrating that is. Please check that you’ve downloaded the latest version of the HSBC app, then restart your device and try again. If the security warning continues, please contact via Live Chat, so we can help you regain access securely. ^UW
The latest version won't open, and the error message says it's because I use the Google Cantonese Keyboard, made by Google. Are you serious?
Developer reply
Hi there! Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. It sounds like the keyboard you are using is not compatible with our mobile app software. Please use Gboard (and utilize Cantonese language) which is offered by Google. This should resolve the issue. Please feel free to chat with us at anytime if the issue persists. Thanks! ^JM

Hi Brady! We’re sorry you’re having trouble using the app on your Samsung Galaxy S22. The device itself may no longer meet the app’s supported operating-system or security requirements. Please check that your phone is running the latest available Android and app versions, then try reinstalling the app. Thank you! ^UW
At last! HSBC US just added strong debit card controls straight in the app. Card lock/unlock, PIN management, spending limits, transaction controls, and card services make this a much more modern banking experience.

Only Zelle to send ACH which is an annoying service. No standard MFA. RTP doesn't count for direct deposits. No email receipt for transferring money, and no they disabled screenshots to prove it's sent. Such poor practice. Archaic interface and features.

Something changed and can't move money anymore. Selecting the first radio button on the "from" account page, the app closes and shuts down. Tried uninstalling, clearing memory and cache and fresh re-install and setup. Tried using AI chatbot, however that was a waste of time. Hopefully someone reads this

“Easy to use, and offers many banking functions.”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
