Ways to Bank
Android devices: Biometrics
You need strategies and solutions to help you navigate an uncharted environment
Biometrics are a simple and secure way to access the HSBC UK Business Banking app by letting your mobile phone ‘read’ your biometrics.
What you’ll need:
Enable Biometrics on your Android device
1. Register biometrics
In your device settings, make sure you’ve set-up Biometrics.
2. Log on
If you have have the HSBC BB app already setup on your device, then you can go to the More menu and access the preferences section and enable the biometrics.
If you are setting up the app for the first time on your device then you’ll be prompted to enable biometrics after the device setup is complete.
Important Information for using Biometrics
Additional terms apply to your use of the biometric sign-in for the HSBC UK Business Banking app. To use this function your mobile or tablet must have fingerprint scanning and/or facial recognition set up on it and your fingerprint/facial pattern recorded (“Biometric Credentials”). The app must also be downloaded to your mobile device and the appropriate settings enabled.
Once you set up your Biometric Credentials you may use them to log onto the HSBC UK Business Banking app and where available make payments to existing beneficiaries or set up new ones.
You must take all reasonable precautions to keep your mobile device and security information safe and prevent any fraudulent use of them. If you choose to activate the feature that allows you to use your Biometric Credentials to log onto the HSBC UK Business Banking app, you must ensure that only your Biometric Credentials are registered on that device. You may be responsible for unauthorised payments made from any accounts you access using the HSBC UK Business Banking app if you have not kept your mobile device and your security details safe or if another person’s Biometric Credentials are registered on your mobile device.
HSBC UK Bank plc reserve the right to remove the ability for biometric sign-on at any time and, if necessary, without notice where we have concerns relating to the security of your mobile device. If we do revoke biometric access to your device, then in normal circumstances you will be able to continue to sign-on using your existing security details.
