I submitted around same time, 5-8 December. I called in, only found out was "processing". I asked the CS, whether any follow up. Everything good? They say okay, if not someone will call.

Keep bugging them, why taking so long. Today morning, I got an email say application decline.

For more info, call the CS hotline.

I called CS hotline, they say can't help although email said so, and will inform for relevant people to call back. I said, what if no one call, they give me a number to call.

I find it fishy, immediately go call that number. Marketing department say can't help me, unless I remember who initially served me. I said why would I want to remember that?

I guess good riddance. This is for Visa Signature, I'm not sure what will happen after signing up or other tiers. Maybe I'm just unlucky...

I think my case should be similar.... but i did mention to the first person who engaged me. I said my company is strict in all these kind of things, they won't entertain. If anything clarify with me before you decide to decline or anything.

I'm more worried CCRIS, CTOS affected my credit rating over stupid HSBC procedures. Till now, I didn't get a callback.

Like I said, either I'm unlucky, or it shows me eventual bad service from HSBC.

Hmmm, the only reason now I'm still pursuing and waste my time talking to HSBC people.

after trying for few days... still no one will talk to me, and for me to find out why my application was rejected. Shitty bank and service.... i guess i will stay away.

No call back, no nothing. crappy bank. I sort of given up.
