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
Registration is easy
- Phone the respective hotline
- 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.
