Hi,
This is quite a long shot but I worked for Midland bank for two years in my late teens, 17-19 years old, and wondered if I ever paid into any sort of pension scheme way back then and if I may be entitled to anything.

Hi, I worked for the Midland Bank from the age of 18-20 back in the early 80s. I certainly don’t recall paying into a pension scheme however I contacted HSBC a few years ago who confirmed I was a pension scheme member and I took a lump sum payment earlier this year when I turned 60.

The Midland/HSBC DB scheme was non-contributory until relatively late, until 2009 or something like that.

Incidentally I was just glancing over the Imperial Tobacco Scheme Guide for pre 2002 entrants - membership was available from age 16.

Hi there - I worked at Midland Bank for 4 years between 1978 & 1982 straight from school and trying to tidy my pensions up - could you advise who/how you contacted HSBC please?

My wild guess would be 'no' for the reasons Marcon gave, however contact the current administrators, EQ (https://myhsbcpension.eqtpa.co.uk/contacts/ - you'll want the Defined Benefit Members contact given hybrid membership postdates the HSBC takeover of Midland).

Here's the relevant contact info.
