HSBC Advance Account

I got mine last week, several weeks after the account was opened.0

Yeah my telephone banking security number arrived in yesterday's post. Account was opened on 19th November, and I have been using it since then. Just going to bin the letter as I don't need it. More on my mind is no £125 yet, although I completed the tasks on 23rd Nov... Hopefully should arrive soon.0

I received the telephone banking number within a day of receiving the card itself. Do people still do phone banking?
It did say you'd need it to register for mobile banking, but you don't.0 -

...."Great news! Your HSBC account is open, your card and PIN are on their way. If you're new to HSBC, you'll also get a telephone banking security number. You can use this, along with your sort code and account number, to register for mobile and online banking."
