Due to recent COVID-19 circumstances, the submission arrangement for CD-ROM autoPay instructions and Smart Form payment instructions maybe affected due to various reasons including specific operational arrangements in individual HSBC branches, delay in postage or courier services, etc.

In view of this, we would like to encourage you to submit autoPay and payment instructions via our eChannels - Business Internet Banking (BIB) or HSBCnet. These e-Channels are accessible 24x7, more secure and offer lower banking transaction fees for certain products. If you do not have access to our e-Channels, or you would like to start submitting autoPay and payment instructions through our e-Channels, please contact your usual HSBC representatives to obtain more information.

If you wish to continue to submit CD-ROM autoPay and Smart Form payment instructions at our branches, please be assured that we will continue to accept your instructions as usual, unless otherwise advised by us in future. We recommend that you submit your CD-ROM autoPay and Smart Form payment instructions in advance at your convenience to reduce the risk of delay in delivery to HSBC.

For ease of our future communications, please update your latest business e-mail address record and mobile phone number with us. You can visit our Form Download Centre for details.

For latest information and arrangement on our services, please continue visiting the Important Notices on our public website.

As your banking partner, we want to do our best to ensure the safety of our staff and customers. Before you enter our Business Centre, you are advised to put on a surgical mask. Hand sanitiser will be available inside the centre. Our staff will also measure your body temperature at the entrance. If your body temperature is at 37.5 degree Celsius or above, you will be invited to seek medical attention immediately and come back after you get well.

1. Beware of online scams – Recently we are aware of a new way of phishing related to coronavirus. The coronavirus-themed scams, including phishing emails, fraudulent calls, and disinformation campaigns, may contain suspicious links of files or an app called ‘Coronavirus Map’. These scams serve no intention of providing useful information, but instead are designed to deliver malware to devices, and capture user names, passwords, credit card numbers and other sensitive data. If you are suspicious of any e-mail/SMS that claims to come from HSBC, please call our hotline +852 2748 8288 to verify, or delete the item without opening it. This caution should apply to all unexpected e-mails/SMS with links or attachments. To find out more, please read our Security Tips.
2. Remember to stay alert and watch out for phishing SMSes, emails and fraudulent websites. We would never send any SMS or email with a link requesting you to log on to HSBC Business Internet Banking.

“Don't be tempted by quick money. Don't lend your bank account to anyone to launder money.”

A money mule is someone who transfers or processes illegal money on behalf of others. Beware of criminals who offer quick money via telemarketing or social media platforms to lure the public into selling or lending their bank accounts or use their personal credentials to open bank accounts. Criminals will then use these stooge accounts to receive / launder fraudulent payments or other crime proceeds.

Never sell or lend your bank accounts or personal credentials to others as these might be abused for unlawful purposes and may expose you to the risk of committing money laundering offences – the maximum penalty is a fine of HKD5 million and 14-year imprisonment.
