Security – helping to keep you safe online
As a global bank we are ideally placed to combat the global threats of online fraud.
Our fraud teams work 24/7 to protect you.
We use a combination of hardware and software encryption to help protect your accounts and personal details.
There are things that you must do to protect your account, including:
- Always visit our website by typing www.hsbc.co.uk in your browser bar
- Keep your security number a secret (please note: HSBC will never ask for your security number in full)
- When you finish banking online, please log off, and close your browser
- Keep your PC protected. Learn how to keep your PC protected
We are committed to helping you keep safe online which is why we have teamed up with McAfee to offer you access to a 12 month subscription of security software.
Online Fraud Guarantee
If any money is taken from your account through a computer crime, we will repay it in full providing you have complied with our terms and conditions (PDF) .
Setting up a security number
Your security number is a 6-10 digit number chosen by you; it is just one of the ways we help to protect your account. The same security number is used for both online and telephone banking. If you don't already have a security number, it is easy to set one up:
- To set up your number call 08457 400 004
- To reset your number call 0845 600 2290
- Lines are open 8am to 10pm every day (except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day). To help us continually improve our service and in the interests of security, we may monitor and/or record your telephone calls with us.
Please have the following information ready before you call:
- Your sort code
- Your account number or Credit Card number
- Your date of birth
