Account holders have gone online this morning to vent their frustration and try and work out whether other people are having the same issue. One person on X (formerly Twitter), posting a screenshot with a “service unavailable” message said: “Anyone else having issues with HSBC mobile banking app today.”

While another person added: “@HSBC_UK the app is not working again and I need to pay bills.” A third person commented: “@HSBC_UK what’s going on with the app/website? It’s payday and I can’t access my wages.” Someone else posted: “@HSBC_UK Good morning, I’m getting a service unavailable message on my mobile banking, I can’t log in.” Another person on Downdetector said: “Unable to log in via the app or the web this morning!”
