Is HSBC down right now?
HSBC is working for most customers right now, with no sign of a wide outage.
The HSBC status on this page is built from live reports by customers. When reports jump, the app or the website is often struggling. A calm line means both are fine.
Is HSBC down for me or everyone?
Reports from many towns at the same time point to a wider HSBC outage. One area only points to a local fault or your connection. Check if the app and the website fail in the same way, since a real outage hits both.
Login problems on the app and online banking
Login is the step that fails most often when the service is under strain. The app shows a message that the service is not available, then refuses every new try. Online banking can freeze on the same step.
Many customers also get stuck at the Digital Secure Key step. The app asks for a code, rejects it, and asks again in a loop. Keep your tries low, since failed tries can lock your access.
Payments and transfers in the app
When the service slows down, payments are often the next thing to break. A transfer can sit on pending, fail at the last step, or vanish and come back later. Do not send the same payment twice, since both copies can leave the account.
Card payments and approvals in the app
Online card payments often need a tap of approval inside the app. If the app is down, that approval never arrives and the shop declines the payment. When the app offers a code by text message instead, use that route. Cards in shops and cash machines keep working in most cases.
Balances, statements and cheque deposits
A balance that does not move is another common report during a fault. Payments can go missing from the list, statements can fail to open, and cheque photos can be refused. Wait for the service to settle first, since the app may show stale numbers.
Common HSBC Problems and Fixes
Most faults clear once the service settles, but these steps fix the ones on your side.
The app will not let you log in
Close the app and open it again, then check for an update in your app store. If login still fails, try online banking in a browser. When both fail in the same way, the fault is on the bank side.
Digital Secure Key codes keep getting rejected
Stop after a few tries, since more failed tries can lock your access. Open the secure key part of the app and check it is active on this phone. If the key was set up on an old phone, reactivate it from the login screen.
A payment is stuck on pending
Leave the payment alone and do not send it again. Pending payments clear in most cases once the service is back. Check the account again later. Only chase it if the money left and the other side got nothing after a full day.
An online card payment cannot be approved
Do not refresh the shop page again, since each try can start a new approval. Look for the text message code option on the payment screen and use it instead. If no code option shows, wait for the app to come back and pay once.
Your balance or statement will not load
Log out of the app, close it, then log in again. Check the pending list, since money held there does not show in the main balance. If the website shows the same old numbers, the delay is on the bank side.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HSBC app down or is it just my phone?
If the website fails in the same way as the app, the problem is wider than your phone. Reports on this page show if other customers are hit too. When reports stay low, the fault is likely on your device.
Why does the app ask for a Digital Secure Key code so often?
The code is a safety check that proves the login is you. It can appear more often after an app update. If codes keep getting rejected, reactivate the key from the login screen.
How can I check my balance while the app is not working?
Try online banking in a browser, it can stay up when the app is down. A cash machine also shows your balance and recent payments. If both routes fail, the fault is on the bank side.
What happens to a payment I sent while the service was down?
The payment often sits on pending and goes through later. Do not send it a second time, since both copies can leave your account. Check your list of payments later.
Does an outage stop my HSBC card working in shops?
In most cases, no. Cards run on a payment network apart from the app, so shops and cash machines keep working. The weak point is buying online, which often needs app approval.
Can I approve an online card payment without the app?
Yes, when the payment screen offers a code by text message, use that route. Not every shop offers it. If not, wait for the app and pay once.
