British banks have had a patchy record in the United States. They've always wanted to break into the American market and every fifteen years or so they get burned and scale back. From what I can see they are getting heavily into the sub prime market. Enjoy the ride.

I just had a situation where I applied online for their three month 5.20% CD. It took about 9 days for the paperwork to go through and by the time the CD was funded, the bank had changed the rate to 2.80 % (without informing me ). When the CD was funded, it went to a 2.80 CD and not the 5.20 I had applied for. How a bank can change the rates halfway through the application process and not tell you is beyond me.... For me to cancel now, I have to pay a penalty. Customer Service says they're sorry! Be careful! Be very careful dealing with HSBC!
