We've made logging on even easier

As we continue to strengthen the capabilities of HSBC Online and Mobile Banking, we're making sure that logging on remains secure, easy, and seamless for you.

We're enhancing the way you log on

  • Less is more -  there will be fewer sets of passwords you'll need to remember
  • Recovering your log on credentials is now a lot easier
  • Seamless log on experience powered by new security capabilities on HBSC Online and Mobile Banking

Look forward to these improvements which will happen in phases from late March 2022 onwards.

What do I need to do while waiting for these enhancements?

  • Review your date of birth and contact details (i.e. mobile number and email address) to ensure they're up to date. Otherwise, there's a chance you might not be able to log on
  • Set up your Personal Internet Banking password
  • Activate Mobile Security Key on the HSBC HK Mobile Banking app (HSBC HK App)

Key changes to HSBC Mobile Banking

Our enhanced security features will give you a single log on solution across HSBC HK App, HSBC Easy Invest and HSBC HK Reward+ apps. All you'll need to do is set up your 6-digit Mobile Banking PIN.

One Mobile Banking PIN

Say hello to an even easier way to log on. From March 2022, you'll be asked to create and confirm a 6-digit Mobile Banking PIN that will be used across the HSBC HK App as well as the HSBC HK Easy Invest and HSBC HK Reward+ apps.

What is Mobile Security Key?

You can also use it to enable biometric authentication to log on and authenticate transactions with Touch ID/Face ID on Apple mobile devices or fingerprint authentication on compatible Android™ mobile devices1
