HSBC bank account application

Hi all,

I applied for a HSBC bank account with a small overdraft last week.

I already have a basic back account with them.

Today I received a text stating my application has been processed and I'll hear from them shortly.

I then tried logging on to my mobile app but it seems the pass code has changed.

My credit file history isn't great.

Anyone any idea if this is a positive or a negative sign from their experience of HSBC?

Thanks

    Given you have a basic account it will have been passed for a manual check. You will just have to wait.
