How automated telephone banking can help you

Our automated telephone banking IVR is here to support you at any time, anywhere. Our self-serve features can help you to securely manage your banking needs without having to speak with an agent.

Registering your telephone number with us means you won't need to remember any account information when you call us. We can also use your voice as your password meaning you won't need to remember any security numbers or passwords, helping to keep your account safe from fraud.

What automated telephone banking can support with

Once your account information has been verified you'll be able to complete our self-serve journeys. If you have additional support needs, you'll be given extra time and prompts to help you during the journey. If you need additional support when banking with us, please let us know. 

Our telephone banking service can help you with:

Don’t worry if you need help with something more complex. You'll be able to connect to an agent for support during our operational hours.

Using automated telephone banking

To start using automated telephone banking, you'll need to register a telephone banking security number. You can do this by calling us or visiting a branch.

You'll then need to register a phone number which we'll use to identify you and your account information. 

You can register up to 3 phone numbers and can change your registered numbers at any time via:

  1. Mobile banking - In the app, go to ‘Menu’ then ‘Profile’ and click on ‘Update your personal details’
  2. Online banking - In your online bank account, go to ‘Account services’ then ‘Personal and address’
  3. Telephone - Call 03457 404 404 to get in touch with the HSBC contact centre to register your phone numbers and set up security. If you're a Premier customer, you can call us on 03457 707 070

Stay safe and save yourself time with Voice ID

HSBC Voice ID is making telephone banking safer than ever because:

  • easier - you won't need to remember your security number. You'll just need your voice to access your account
  • safer - fraudsters and hackers may be able to steal or guess your security number, but they can't replicate your voice. Voice ID can even recognise your voice if you have a cold or a sore throat

How do I sign up for Voice ID?

Registering for Voice ID is simple and available 24/7. Follow the 4 steps to register your voice:

  1. Call 08000 852 380 from a quiet location and not on loudspeaker
  2. Verify yourself using your telephone banking security number
  3. Create your voiceprint saying 'My voice is my password' up to 5 times
  4. Use your voice to access your account through telephone banking

The next time you call us, you'll just need to repeat your voiceprint instead of using the security number. And don't worry about remembering it – we’ll remind you what to say.

If you've forgotten your telephone banking security number, you can reset it by calling 03457 404 404.

HSBC Voice ID is available to UK customers over the age of 18 who are registered for phone banking.

Getting started

If you’re not already registered for online or mobile banking, you’ll be able to register once you have your phone banking number. This will give you access to our 24/7 chat service, as well allowing you to register for Voice ID.
