Is account access through the HSBC Business Solutions Online Account Management web site secure?
Yes, account access is secure. Your browser plays a central role in communicating with us and ensuring security. Our security system has the highest security standards and supports only those browsers that incorporate Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 or higher for data encryption. SSL is a software based security protocol that encodes data before it is transmitted over the Internet. In addition, for security purposes, the view of your account information on our site will close if there is no page activity for a period of 15 minutes or more. The page terminates thereafter. Further, your account information is stored behind a firewall and is in no way directly connected to the Internet. These security features are also utilized when contacting us through the HSBC Business Solutions Online Account Management web site.
