I was searching about this device and came to this site. I have also received this device today for my Credit Card with HSBC India. I think it is good for security but sometimes it will be very difficult to carry with you always.

my HSBC device seems to be very reliable, and I don’t have concern on the internet security anymore.

My first HSBC security device broke and now my replacement (as the first one broke down) has also broken.

The first one died after 3 months of use. It displayed 888888 every time I pressed the button. The 2nd (the replacement for the first) doesn’t display anything when I press the button. This 2nd is only 2 months old.

I’m not happy with HSBC!!

[...] About 3 weeks ago, I blogged about HSBC’s new security feature that provides a security device for all their customers. Mine arrived 2 days ago though my landlady received the packaged for me without HSBC’s required representative letter (so much for security). [...]

@ Non

The letter says they will do it in phases so i guess it’s applicable to those using their online banking facility. They will send you a notice for this too.

When it comes to internet security, HSBC online has a tight one going. It’s good to know that HSBC Philippines is doing the same thing as HK. I actually have one of those security device from HK and they give me a greater sense of security whenever I go online.

A great step forward this, I hope HSBC gets moving on distribution of this key generator.

A number of European banks have had similar schemes in place for several years. Alas Philippine (and notably, US banks) have ignored the problem.

Online banking has become more and more popular but no more secure. Using an internet cafe machine or your own machine over a wireless connection is a real crapshoot … this security device is a big step in the right direction. There’s no reason (except lethargy by bank management) that it can not also be used for over the counter credit card transactions … a perpetually renewed PIN. Good on HSBC.
