HSBC Voice ID

Accessing phone banking with your voice - now you're talking.

Making phone banking safer than ever

With HSBC Voice ID, we can recognise your voice when you call our phone banking hotline. That means we can verify your identity without the need to enter a PIN. It's an easier and safer way to use our phone banking services.

How voice biometrics works

Voice biometrics combines physical factors (e.g. vocal tract, mouth shape and size, nasal passage) and behavioural factors (e.g. speed of speech, pronunciation and emphasis, accent) to create your unique voiceprint.

Once you're enrolled in Voice ID, we'll automatically start using it to identify you. However, you may still need to enter your phone banking PIN, one-time passcode, or answer extra security questions in some instances.

How to use Voice ID:

Next time you call the HSBC Global Private Banking, HSBC Premier Elite, HSBC Premier or HSBC Personal Banking Hotline, you don't need to enter your PIN. Just say: "I will need your help with something" and we'll know it's you.
