Shouldn't be that long:

Paper statements take longer to arrive by post. Allow up to 5 working days for bank account statements or 9 working days for credit card statements.

Statements are downloadable according to that page, or do different terms apply to their currency account?

HSBC statements are easy to obtain for most other accounts, but the currency account isn't listed amongst the others in the drop down selection box for some reason, nor is there anywhere to choose a preference between paper and online statements for it.

I only ever seem to have a paper statement in the post after some account movement, so for my circumstances it can be months at a time without seeing one e.g. the last one I received was back in April.

It takes about 8 days for the mortgage statement to arrive.

Yes, HSBC loves paper and post.  HCA accounts can't be opted in to paperless statements as they run on a separate system from the regular GBP accounts.
