Caller Line Identification feature

To save you the hassle of entering banking account or credit card number every time, we've introduced the latest enhancement to our phone banking system.

Call us from your registered HK mobile number and our system will be able to recognise your banking profile.

How do I use Caller Line Identification?

Step 1:

Call us from your registered HK mobile number

Step 2:

Our system can recognise your banking profile right away

Step 3:

Input your 6-digit phone banking PIN or get voice verification done

Remarks:

This feature is only applicable for HK mobile number maintained in customer’s record in the bank, subjected to mobile number received from telecom service provider.

If you are not calling from your registered HK mobile number, you will need to go through the usual bank account or credit card number input followed by phone banking PIN or voice verification.

This feature will be available from 20 November 2022 onwards, released to different hotlines in phases.

Here's what our innovative phone banking service offers at a glance:

  • Smart technology that recognises your query and directs you to the right place

  • Self-service options once you verify your identity via phone banking PIN or Voice ID

How do I use conversational phone banking?

State your reason for calling

Step 1:

State your reason for calling when you hear "In a few words, tell me the reason for your call now." For example, you can say "make a transfer" or "check my balance".

Confirm that we've got it right

Step 2:

Respond with only 'Yes' or 'No' when confirming your reason for the call or repeat the keyword provided by the system.

Or, you can press the shortcut keys for quicker access to self-services.

Get the support you need

Step 3:

You will be directed to the relevant service points once we successfully recognise your reason for calling.

Tips for a better conversational phone banking experience

  • Listen and follow the instructions
  • Keep the microphone close to your mouth
  • Refrain from talking loudly. Speak naturally and at a normal volume
  • Avoid calling from loud places. Excessive background noise might affect call quality
  • Avoid hesitations and long pauses
  • Use simple and short keywords from this list of references

Register for phone banking

How to register: Call the hotline, then register new phone banking service with ATM pin, then set up and confirm phone banking pin and then complete the registration

Registration is easy

  1. Phone the respective hotline
  2. Use any of your ATM or credit cards and respective PIN to register

Your phone banking PIN

With one single PIN, you can use it even when you set up new accounts and services. Just use any bank account or credit card number registered in your name plus your phone banking PIN to access the service. Joint account holders also need to provide separate identity document numbers or dates of birth.

Reset phone banking PIN

You can reset your PIN by calling the hotline number, or at any HSBC ATM in Hong Kong.

For security and so you can gain instant access to phone banking, resetting your PIN will also reset your phone banking transfer limit for non-registered third party accounts to zero. Visit any HSBC branch to restore your previous limit.

Important notice: Making phone banking even more secure

We are required to send you a text message notification when you carry out these transactions through phone banking:

  • Transferring money to an unregistered third party account
  • Making a bill payment to a merchant in the Securities and Brokers, Sport and Leisure or Finance Company categories

Please update your mobile number using Personal Internet Banking or phone banking during office hours. If we don’t have a valid mobile number from you to send an SMS text message notification, you won’t be able to carry out these transactions using phone banking.

 

HSBC Voice ID is now available. Voice ID uses advanced voice biometric technology to verify your identity with your unique voice.

 

Important notice: Enhance the security of phone banking

To complete the following designated instructions via phone banking, in addition to verification with your phone banking PIN or Voice ID, we also need to verify with a one-time passcode sent by SMS. A notification will be sent to your pre-registered mobile number and/or e-mail address once the transaction is completed. For details, please contact our phone banking customer service officer.
