HSBC app down — Thousands of customers left furious as online banking service hit with outage

  • Can I claim compensation for the outage?

    Banks don't have to pay out compensation to customers if there has been a drop in service, unlike how telecoms companies have to.

    But if you have incurred costs as a result of service issues, it's likely you could get your money back.

    For example, if a bill payment didn't go through as a result of an outage and you’ve been charged a fee for missing it, you should be able to claim that money back.

  • Reports soar as thousands unable to access banking app

    Over 5,600 users have reported issues with HSBC's banking app this morning, as per Downdetector.

    Most users claim they are unable to log in or transfer money via the mobile app.
