Seriously now, look at the post date with regards to the NatWest/HSBC app!! Did you really fall for that!! lol

Anyway, by all accounts (excusing the pun) while searching vigorously on this subject Monilink (apparently) said last year that they will be releasing an HSBC version of the NatWest app in January (2010) – ooops… a bit late then!

I need this app! Come on HSBC. Pull your finger out!!

I tried the natwest app with my hsbc card details but had no luck. It told me the card was invalid. Anyone else made this work?

You can use the Natwest application for HSBC accounts – it is just a re-skinned Monilink front-end for the iPhone. If you register your HSBC card with it, a HSBC menu will appear on the app and you see your balance, transactions etc. The same is true for any Monilink based mobile service provided by the high street banks.

Hi,
It is a bit sad that HSBC still does not have an iphone app.
I come from Barcelona, and there I am banking with “La Caixa”, and their online service are just amazing: iphone/android/blackberry apps since a few years ago, apps to buy cinema/theatre tickets, etc etc.
if you happen to have to bank in Spain, do consider it!
Search for La Caixa in the apple store, and “servicaixa” is for the ticket buying app.

Look at the stuff for mobile banking they have developed already: https://portal.lacaixa.es/caixamovil/store/caixamovil_es.html
(apologies is only in Spanish!).

I emailed HSBC suggesting them to imitate “La Caixa”, but no reply…

Mobank on the App Store allows you to assess your HSBC account and Balance and Transaction check easily. Not perfect, but getting better, set up by the guy who did First Direct and Mint! It works for me.

I’m actually considering a move to Natwest if they don’t pull their finger out

I sent emails to both HSBC’s online banking support desk and Monilink (who make the Natwest app) to ask them about an HSBC iPhone app.

HSBC told me to use the Monilink download instructions on their website. I emailed to explain once again that this does not work with the iPhone. They then said the service is only available for HSBC business customers (how would the app store differentiate?). They seemed to be clueless as to what an iPhone app was.

Monilink didn’t respond to my email.

Very frustrating

I want this badly, I don’t want to go to Natwest as they’ve messed me about in the past, but this is really tempting. I too would be willing to pay at least a £5 for an app like this from HSBC, maybe more if there were some significantly innovative and useful extra features.

They are taking their time. I would have thought that the iPad release would speed things up.

i would pay hsbc significant amounts of money for that app!

Well hopefully now Santander are looking after Abbey we should see something soon. Consider the iPad was released today I’m sure all banks will jump on the bandwagon soon enough.

I completely agree. How long do we have to wait?

As always uk always lagging behind, rather than keep kicking them up the arse to get what was out amercia ages a go, i give up and am gonna emigrate to amercia

I’m sure it won’t be long either banks in America have been doing this for ages so the UK in traditional form will follow up the rear.

Yeah HSBC should really release something soon
