Hi,

I applied for one of the HSBC "Green" current accounts last Wednesday.

I called them yesterday as i hadnt heard anything and they said a welcome pack and a request for a copy of my signature had been sent out.

Can anyone tell me if that means i have been accepted? Or what happens? Could i still be rejected?

Thanks

Yes, you've been accepted.

Fantastic thanks.
Does this account come with a Maestro card?

Cant see any credit checks on my credit file which is why i was unsure.

Depends on your credit score. Might even come with Visa Debit, never know.

Thanks Shelf Stacker.
One more question i promise.........what agency do they search?

HSBC use Experian

DanDan123

Thanks for that.

I cant see that i have been accepted yet then, as there is nothing on my credit file.

I take that back, there was a search on the 20th by HSBC.

Will be very surprised if i have been accepted, although people seem to think i have been.

A welcome pack = acceptance.

Are you saying the 'better' customers get Visa Debit rather than Maestro?

If so, I'm going to get a complex because they gave me a Maestro recently!

I work for Hsbc, if you've been given a welcome pack, it's more than likely you have been accepted. however they may need you to produce I.D at a local branch before they can open the account.

we don't have visa at hsbc, we have solo and maestro. maestro cards are the best that we do. it's dependant on credit scoring tho, and how you manage your account
