HSBC Secure Card Problems Resolved

Have got this card functioning at last.
It requires 8 separate and correctly answered steps before you can get into your online account every time you use it for anything.

Have a pencil and paper ready.

As soon as the new number appears on your secure card write it down fast. It disappears in seconds-- get part way through it as you put it online and you are completely stuffed if you cannnot remember it.

You may have to ask the nodding Chinese idiot woman a question online then.

London Riots

Use the water cannon and rubber bullets tonight please Mrs May.It all looks so bad my American cousins are asking me if I need refuge with them.

HSBC Secure Card Problems

It has taken me 24 hours to get into my account.Collected another card from my local branch.Note they made no security checks before handing it over. They failed to give me a new replacement code so more time  spent phoning India to get one.

HSBC have imposed this system on their customers regardless of whether they have the capacity to manage it. It is alleged that even blind customers have received them.

Hours of my time wasted on this.

HSBC Secure Card Disaster

This silly little card is a disaster.I am now locked out of my bank account. Hopeless for older people with arthritic fingers and short sight.
Lengthy phone call via the Indian subcontinent has failed to help.
Will visit local branch of HSBC tomorrow and insert it into someone
