We’ve introduced a new feature that will allow you to use your mobile device to generate your HSBCnet security code when logging on to HSBCnet.
The new mobile authentication is a convenient way for you to access HSBCnet services, whether you’re at your desk or on the go.
With mobile authentication, you can use your mobile device to log on and access HSBCnet services, instead of using your physical Security Device.
Important note: whether you log on using your Security Device or mobile device, you may still be required to use your Security Device for some functions in HSBCnet that don’t currently support mobile authentication.
We’ll be introducing further enhancements throughout 2020 to offer more opportunities for you to use your mobile device instead of your Security Device.
Please contact your HSBC customer support team to check when this services will be available for your HSBCnet profile.
