For the second morning in a row HSBC's online banking is failing to work. I get to enter all my login details and security crap and then BAM, back to Step 1 of 2. It was exactly the same yesterday morning too and if I'm right, it'll be working as normal by about 12 noon on the dot. This is the third time in less than a week they've had this problem.

A cynical person might start to think this was deliberate so that the thousands of customers trying to check their accounts each morning have to phone their expensive telephone baking number. Frankly it's unacceptable, a large bank like the HSBC shouldn't have such issues like this every bloody morning, whoever their admins are they need sacking.

Any other irate HSBC customers suffering the same?

Yep...same here. I have been trying to do my travel expenses with the correct exchange rate but to no avail.

I am leaving on another trip this afternoon so it's a bit of a pain in the neck.

What time? I have this feeling that it mysteriously stops working between the hours of about 9(ish) and 12 noon.

Now, I understasnd that the morning is probably their busy period with all their customers trying to check their balances, but in the two years I've been with them I've never had any issues. So why now all of a sudden? Three times in less than seven days? Like I said, I think it's to get people to use their Telephone banking, I can't believe the HSBC are unfortunate enough to suffer the same technical issues at the exact same time every day.

Business or Personal? and how far did you get? I sometimes get as far as selecting which account to look at and then off it goes back to Step 1.

Okay, I assume it's business banking that's just suffering then.

It seems to be mostly in the mornings when the problem happens. Or you live in an alternative dimension.
