Over 15,000 customers downloaded the HSBC Mobile Banking App in less than four months after HSBC Malta launched its mobile banking solution. The free app brings the power of HSBC's suite of banking services to smartphones and tablets, enabling customers to carry out their banking needs anytime, anywhere.
The free HSBC mobile banking app packs many of the same features of HSBC's internet banking platform and has recently been upgraded to offer the simplicity of accessing "Global View", which gives HSBC customers access to HSBC accounts that they hold in other countries. Users can also transfer funds to any other third-party HSBC account holders, including those who don't use mobile banking. This feature is unique to HSBC mobile banking.
"Clint Zammit from Birkirkara was the first customer who accessed our Mobile Banking app on the day that the 15,000th download was recorded. Whilst expressing his surprise and delight at winning a €100 shopping voucher to use at the Point, Mr Zammit said, "I downloaded the app late in the evening and started using it immediately. I loved the fact that the app is user-friendly and allows me to take control of my finances around the clock. It gives me the power to conduct certain transactions that would have required me to go to a branch."
HSBC Malta Head of Retail Banking & Wealth Management Paul Steel said: "Our mobile digital solution effortlessly integrates into the busy lifestyles of our customers and allows them to manage their finances in a simple, secure and efficient manner."
The HSBC Malta mobile banking app is available to download for iPhone®, iPad® and AndroidTM smartphones. To use the app, customers must be an HSBC Personal Internet Banking user. Customers can register for HSBC's free Personal Internet Banking at www.hsbc.com.mt. To make mobile banking more convenient customers do not always need to use their Internet Banking Secure Key. In fact a password of customer's choice can be set up through Personal Internet Banking and this can subsequently be used to access most of the mobile banking features once this has been installed on the user's device.
