HSBC's new mobile banking app

I tried to update but it goes to the migration web page and says ‘pull down the page and tap OPEN’. There isn’t an OPEN

I had that issue to so just manually set up the new app. Much cleaner interface than the old one and seems to be able to make payments to new payees but still seems quite limited overall.

I only found it because of this thread! It’s better, but it’s no Monzo :wink:

The app store reviews say it isn’t much better and it can’t handle multi currency

46

Based on the screenshots it unsurprisingly looks a lot like a white version of the First Direct app

Is anyone else on android? I can’t find a new HSBC app in the play store, not sure if I’m just missing it… Don’t use the app much at the moment but would still be good to have a better version

I can’t either. I’m guessing it’s iPhone only.

Quick Google implies 2018 for general release (doesn’t mention Android vs ios), some familiar ideas in there :thinking: Will just have to keep an eye out…

Some more info on their ‘joined up’ banking here:

Your banks. Your accounts. Together in one place.

Together in one shitty app.

It sounds, at least from the quotes they use, like the name of the app is actually Beta… wow. Enough said.

It’s now available on Android.

Annoyingly, no fingerprint login on Android.

Is this it? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.hsbc.hsbcukmobilebanking

57

Yeah. That’s the one.

58

Ah thanks, that was pretty easy to set up compared to the usual torture, which always involves having to ring them, I have to go through if I have to reinstall the app…Yeah annoying that it seems to indicate finger print log in should be there but it’s not. Good we can finally set up a new payee in app though I probably won’t have much use for it anymore seen as I’m using Monzo for pretty much all my banking now :joy:

59

I would if I weren’t using an app-based bank (as there are no need for branches), but I’d use Apple Maps :stuck_out_tongue: I wouldn’t need that as a feature in the bank’s app.

Oh no, this app is bad. Half the screen for the balance and top navigation bar =| Make viewing anything other than balances a pain. :frowning:

61

I wonder how many years it will be before you can activate your card by tapping it on your phone.

Pretty sure I won’t be alive to see that :joy:

Is this not just what Yolt has been doing?
