Latest HSBC safeguard letter
Hi all - I see from old threads on this forum and others, as well as news pieces, that this was an issue for many HSBC customers in the mid 2000s. I'm now the subject of one of these so-called 'safeguard' reviews, puportedly to "update my details". It took a long time to get them to stop obfuscating about what they wished…

HSBC / First Direct login problems? App seems fine but not browser?
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced login issues with a desktop browser? I've updated the apps for both on my mobile (which admittedly is quite old, but the app works fine, else app wouldn't update or I wouldn't be able to unlock my security code). I can log into my accounts via the apps, but unable to seemingly…

I was thinking of using my Lloyd’s card on my cruise as I don’t want to use cash when spending in NOK, SEK and DKK - I don’t think it’s worth the fees for the limited sums for a day each for number…

The machine did not give me long enough to retrieve my cash and when I leaned forward to try to take it the gate mechanism closed and the money was lost to me. I was very angry and upset. I felt quite humiliated given that it was such a public area.…
