24/7 online messaging support is here

Last updated: 12 October 2022

At HSBC, we’re committed to offering you the help you need, when you need it. As part of that commitment, we’ve extended HSBCnet’s Live Chat service to offer 24/7 online messaging support - connecting you with agents who can help make your HSBCnet experience easier.

Access 24/7 online support from our HSBCnet experts

With HSBCnet’s online messaging, you’re connected directly to an HSBCnet support agent, without having to make a call, send an email, or visit a branch.

24/7 online messaging support is currently available in Bermuda, Canada, and the United States.

Here’s how to start an online conversation with us:

  1. Log on to HSBCnet and select the ‘Need help?’ link from the right hand side of any HSBCnet page.
  2. Select the ‘Chat with us’ button and follow the prompts in the chat window to connect with an available agent. Outside of business hours, an agent will follow-up on your request as soon as they’re able. A message in the chat window will let you know when you can expect a response from us.
  3. The agent may ask to verify your profile details in order to provide support using online messaging. HSBC will never ask you to provide the one-time security code from your Security Device or mobile device.
  4. If you need to step away from HSBCnet, we’ll send a notification to your mobile phone when the agent responds and you can continue the conversation directly in the app or by logging back in on your computer. In order to receive push notifications, you need to have the HSBCnet Mobile app installed on your mobile device with app notifications enabled.
