User reviews
Multiple users report persistent problems with the HSBC US Android app, notably the check deposit feature failing due to autofocus and photo capture issues. Recent updates have caused a white screen on login, rendering the app unusable for many until reinstallation, which offers only a temporary fix. Users also note frequent mandatory updates with minimal improvements, unreliable biometric login on some devices, and poor notification of account changes. While some appreciate biometric login and basic banking functions, the overall experience is often frustrating and unstable, prompting users to consider switching banks.
Pros
- The app has a fingerprint login feature that works well for some users.
- The app provides basic online banking functions that meet the needs of many users.
- Customer service is responsive to some extent, offering advice such as reinstalling the app, which has helped some users.
- Initially, the app was functional and convenient before recent updates caused issues.
- The new version of the app has a cleaner and easier navigation interface for some users.
Cons
- Frequent app updates with little noticeable improvement; updates often introduce new bugs.
- The check deposit feature is widely reported as unreliable due to poor autofocus and automatic photo capture, leading to failure to deposit checks.
- After recent updates, many users experience a persistent white blank screen on login, making the app unusable until reinstalled, which works only temporarily.
- Lack of timely or accurate notifications for account changes or transactions, causing user concern and inconvenience.
- Issues with biometric login features like fingerprint and face recognition not consistently working across devices.
- Difficulty in logging out properly and managing user sessions within the app.
- Problems with app settings transfer between old and new versions result in loops and failure to proceed.
- General app instability and crashes during critical operations like check deposit or login.

The app doesn't notify me of any changes to my account. So when I think I have enough turns out, I don't because of a few payments, but I don't know of these payments until I go into the app and check my account. It's really worrying, especially when it comes to helping combat fraud and unauthorized transactions, and I genuinely can't make it a habit to continually log in every few minutes to see changes to my account that's a hassle.

Edit: This is my first ever android review. The updates from the end of October render the app unusable. When you boot up the app it gets stuck on a white screen and you're not able to log in. I've reinstalled and it works on first login, but then trying to log in on future uses results in the same situation. There was a suggestion that the 16 November updates fixed this, but it did not - even on uninstall and install it's the same. Really disappointed because it used to be such a good app.
