Latest outage, problems and issue reports in City of London and nearby locations:

  • seiferxin1 seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @HSBC_UK Further Ive tried this 3 separate devices...mobile phone and 2 different laptops. Ive cleared cache so this is not the issue... especially given 3 different devices.

  • paulhelpspeople Paul Smith (@paulhelpspeople) reported from Hounslow, England

    It never ceases to amaze me that a full service bank @HSBC_UK can be so unhelpful. I only wanted to pay in a cheque (rarity I know) into my @firstdirect account, but it was all so much hassle. Machines not working, no paying in slips. Unhelpful staff! FD you are so much better!!

  • AndrewCarrier Andrew Carrier 🍸 (@AndrewCarrier) reported from Kensington, England

    @dgwbirch @Barclays Looks familiar. @HSBC_UK does the same thing. Go over your daily payment limit and, rather than say that, you get a indecipherable error message leaving you to imagine it’s an IT issue or worse. Why are established banks so bad at this stuff!?

  • ShethranS Sam Shethran (@ShethranS) reported from Merton, England

    HSBC online banking payee selection option down. Essentially means their online banking is totally down. No updates online either. What a terrible banking service @HSBC_UK

  • NBJNiloo Nilema (@NBJNiloo) reported from Tottenham, England

    @HSBC_UK - is there a problem with the app. I have reinstalled it because it logs off everytime I press pay&transfer.

  • vmahadevan1 MV (@vmahadevan1) reported from Hounslow, England

    Opened a jade account with @HSBC_UK after making a move from @StarlingBank. Very first transaction from the new account…Fail! Transaction seems to have gone thru, but get an error message saying there was a problem!Hate to compare but Starling App was so perfectly engineered

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @bat1150gs @HSBC_UK It’s awful. My salary gets paid on that account and I’ve been locked out for weeks now. Their response is to install on another device. Not even the web option works as you need a security code in the app.

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @HSBC_UK Abi, I don’t want a complaint, I just want to access my bank account 🥹 I’ll use the option you suggested and if that does not work then I’ll file a complaint but let’s give that option a chance.

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @scottgardner76 @HSBC_UK If the bank does not release a statement soon I’ll have to change my payroll to another bank. I can’t touch my money because to log in on the computer you need a code from the app. I can only use debit card.

  • 0x013F6DAF2fc89 thewolfofcrypto.eth (@0x013F6DAF2fc89) reported from City of London, England

    Annoyed by the fact that every time a bank transfer contains the word #crypto @HSBC_UK marks it as “fraudulent” and block it. #Banks are the real fraud #Crypto is the future

  • dhoworth1 David Howorth (@dhoworth1) reported from Esher, England

    .@HSBC_UK Any update on when your app will be operational! Seems very bizarre that you have known issues for over 24 hrs and you still have not communicated to your customers!

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @HSBC_UK Hi Abi. Will call tomorrow then but asking customers to roll back is not acceptable. The issue here is the bank, not the apple software. All other banks (Barclays, Bank of America, Revolut and Wise in my case) work perfectly fine.

  • andrelondonuk Risk On 🇺🇦 (@andrelondonuk) reported from Bromley, England

    @HSBC_UK can you tell e why your Bromley bank is closed staff said security issue... WTH

  • AlexKLMan Alex 🀄️ (@AlexKLMan) reported from Romford, England

    @CatchTheseWords @HSBC_UK Have you tried using the screen recognition? Also, it is ridiculous why you need account information for a public issue.

  • bennys020 chris (@bennys020) reported from Croydon, England

    @HSBC_UK app not working

  • paulhelpspeople Paul Smith (@paulhelpspeople) reported from Hounslow, England

    @HSBC_UK Hi Steve. All I ask is that the cashier’s don’t judge & don’t take it out on customers when there’s no paying in slips. Better still get both cheque paying in machines working, as that would help everyone. Thanks for your support. Kind regards, Paul

  • AndrewCarrier Andrew Carrier 🍸 (@AndrewCarrier) reported from Paddington, England

    @harrynwilson What were they protesting? How diabolically awful @HSBC_UK’s mobile app is?

  • Dorothy737 Dorothy Cohen (@Dorothy737) reported from Barnet, England

    @HSBC_UK stop bombarding me with text messages to the point of harassment. Do any other customers have this problem with HSBC???

  • seiferxin1 seiferxin (@seiferxin1) reported from London, England

    @HSBC_UK Same issue for past 3wks...still same today

  • MurrayAlanLee DREAMVIEW ESTATES (@MurrayAlanLee) reported from Barnet, England

    @HSBC_UK Was in there again just now! Both cash AND cheque machines down plus I gather all systems. And only 1 counter open and gather the main frame is down too? So what I paid in won’t show up?🙈🤬

    @HSBC_UK So screw your customers hey instead of working a bit harder?

  • rob_wood Robert Wood (@rob_wood) reported

    @HSBC_UK Already submitted via phone. But this means I can’t access my account in any way, does HSBC find leaving its customers without access to their accounts acceptable?

  • TimYouster Tim Youster (@TimYouster) reported

    Y'know what @HSBC_UK, sending out automated letters, vaguely threatening to take away peoples access to overdrafts in this time of unprecedented cost of living crisis, is just the sort of thing that pushes people over the edge. People die because of this. Stop it.

  • _craigt_ craigt (@_craigt_) reported

    @HSBC_UK @HSBC Yours is the only banking app I have installed that does not work with iOS public beta… actually it’s the only app not working for me… Just saying…

  • chipwolfuk wolfie (@chipwolfuk) reported

    @eddieclarke96 @HSBC_UK @john_yes_really This is the thing, most other banks have done nothing for iOS16 yet, HSBC maintain a version whitelist to artificially block versions they're "uncomfortable with", it's juvenile

  • mip2202 mip2202 (@mip2202) reported

    @HSBC_UK still waiting for you to enable app login on iOS16… just saying, your colleagues said that devs are working on it, it CANNOT be taking this long ❌❌

  • actwit83 Adam (@actwit83) reported

    @mip2202 @HSBC_UK Wasting your breathe mate. Every year the same on the betas and every year people complain and its ignored. HSBC literally only bank who actively block app from working and their policy will never change. The app will start working September as iOS 16 comes out, not a day before.

  • Bexster100 Becky Guest (@Bexster100) reported

    @HSBC_UK I’m an existing customer and am trying to open a Flexible Saver but every time I try to apply it says I can’t because I’m not a UK tax resident. But I AM a UK tax resident. Why is this happening? I have only ever lived and paid tax in the UK??

  • ChillliRose Chilli (@ChillliRose) reported

    Hi @HSBC_UK your app isn’t working in IOS 16 beta and I can’t access my online banking as it’s done via digital secure key - please let me know how best to manage this?

  • rob_wood Robert Wood (@rob_wood) reported

    @HSBC_UK @bat1150gs Hi, the same thing happened back with iOS15 as well and took several months before we could get into our a/c again. I'm overseas and don't have access to a physical key so this is a significant problem. I've logged a complaint but need to see HSBC do more.
