### 4/5 — Fast and efficient

*2026-06-15*

Us

### 2/5 — No Payment Confirmations

*2026-02-28, version 3.65.0*

Recently, additional text message confirmations or on-screen confirmations when doing instant bank transfers are not coming through properly. Please fix the bug because after a transaction it makes me feel uncertain whether a payment was made successfully or not!

### 3/5 — Not enough transaction history

*2024-08-09*

You can only go back like 3 days in the transaction history which is not enough if you want to look at your spending history. Seriously lacking compared to industry standard. Every other banking app I’ve used has months of transaction history. The rest is pretty good and easy to use.

### 2/5 — Very poor

*2023-10-14, version 3.37.0*

For one of the world’s biggest financial institutions, this is the worse’s app I’ve experienced. Laggy. Non-intuitive when searching for banks. No QR code for quick searches and local payments. Really bad.

### 4/5 — Request update apple pay HSBC Vietnam

*2023-10-03*

Please update support apple pay with HSBC visa card in Vietnamese application

### 3/5 — Day time transfers only

*2023-08-01*

I like HSBC and services but the one hugely frustrating thing is not being able to transfer funds from USD account to VND account outside back office hours (including all weekends and holidays)
Other banks do it very easily.
For an international bank this is quite amazingly poor
Pls try and change this process

### 2/5 — Bad app

*2023-06-11, version 3.32.1*

Honestly this app is embarrassing for such a large international bank. One of the only bank apps in Vietnam that doesn’t have a QR code function. Also, in order to login to your account on a web browser, you need to get a code from your mobile app. So if you have a problem with your mobile app then there is no other way to access your own account.  On top of that, you’re only allowed to have one device access the app. So if you have a problem with your phone or it’s lost/stolen, you can’t access the mobile app on a tablet either.

### 1/5 — Too bad

*2023-01-11, version 3.27.0*

Bring me back to 90s

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2022-12-23*

Should show more previous transactions on the app.  Go back further in date.  And be able to show deposits only or withdrawals only.    Also add an option where we can add a Nick and to payees.  I saved payees but gave no idea who they are because their company name doesn’t show.   Add notifications for when a deposit is made.

### 1/5 — Very difficult to use.

*2022-12-19*

app does not find account information and fill it out by itself, users have to enter it all manually.

### 2/5 — Disappointed!

*2022-10-09*

I'm using the latest ios version and the app; yet, the NAPAS247 option doesn't show up.

### 1/5 — Broke the app with last update

*2022-08-18*

With the latest update - I lost ability to transfer from VND to USD account. Only USD->VND transfers are available. Global transfers disappeared too. App is pretty much useless now.

### 1/5 — Nothing to use

*2022-08-05*

Nothing to use
Nothing to use
Nothing to use

### 4/5 — Lacks imagination & flexibility

*2022-07-29, version 3.20.0*

Monitoring balance and transferring money between your own HABC accounts well. Making a transfer to pre-established external accounts appears to be ok, however there is far more flexibility for paying new bills and transferring to new accounts when done online via laptop.
This could be so much better.

### 1/5 — Weird app

*2022-06-20*

Unable to add payees in the app. You have to add them via the website, and only then will they show up. 😑. 
Don't show the correct account balance. I have been using it for 3 days now, and it still doesn't show the right balance.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very primitive

*2026-07-14*

It’s very basic app, not many functionalities are available, even QR code scan doesn’t work all the time. Any notification, 
we need to login the system everytime

### 1/5 — Account opening support

*2025-11-03*

HSBC staff are the worst and they don’t support the customers,even after the bank has contract with the company for account opening they are really waste and disgraceful and do not assist with anything. Simply worst 

May be it’s good for others but in my case they have been the absolute worst

### 1/5 — Inconvenience of  App

*2025-03-21*

Most of the time, i can NOT search bank name by code or name

### 1/5 — Feel back from user

*2024-12-07*

I’m an user work on IT field but this app is so bad on user experience. Besides, the services from this bank with many charges. Should go away ASAP

### 1/5 — Not a local banking app

*2024-03-14, version 3.42.0*

Cannot use QR codes for transferring money(like other Vietnam banking apps) but have to fill in account and bank detail. Except that the bank selection function hardly ever works. It can take 5minutes of repeat attempts to get any banks to appear on the list making this a very frustrating app to use.
I am considering to get a local bank account just so I can transfer money efficiently.
The world’s local bank *except in Vietnam*

### 1/5 — Utterly useless

*2024-01-25, version 3.39.0*

The Vietnam hsbc app is useless, you can’t do anything and transfers take forever and most of the time you have to go online to the website.

### 1/5 — Rất tệ

*2023-10-16, version 3.37.0*

Một ứng dụng ngân hàng trên điện thoại mà chỉ có duy nhất chức năng cực kỳ cơ bản là: chuyển tiền. Kể cả việc thêm thông tin tài khoản người nhận cũng không thể… Trong khi các ứng dụng mobile banking của các ngân hàng trong nước đã có bao nhiêu là chứng năng tiện dụng. Không hiểu sao một N.H lớn như HSBC lại có ứng dụng ngân hàng tệ như vậy 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Không hỗ trợ Apple Pay và Google pay

*2023-08-09, version 3.35.3*

Thời đại nào rồi lúc Google Pay ra mắt cũng ko hỗ trợ và giờ ko hỗ trợ luôn Apple Pay. Ngân hàng quốc tế mà coi thường người Việt quá.

### 1/5 — Tính năng sử dụng hạn chế

*2023-07-27, version 3.35.3*

Thao tác phức tạp. Chuyển khoản sang ngân hàng khác bằng Napas thì không được. Trải nghiệm rất khó chịu

### 1/5 — 1*

*2023-05-30, version 3.32.1*

Ứng dụng không thân thiện với người dùng

### 5/5 — Loi napas

*2024-01-18*

### 5/5 — Account opening

*2024-01-11*

In Vietnam I feel account opening was easy and the relationship manager guidance is good . Smooth process. I like it very much

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2023-05-30*

This new app is so much better than the previous system. It’s a lot easier than the digital key system.

*2022-01-22*

### 5/5 — Limited functionality

*2022-01-10*

It haven’t yet allowed to transfer for new account directly in app.

### 5/5 — Transfer features

*2021-11-26*

Phone apps should be able to make new transfers on new receivers ( new payee ) without have to go on PC.

### 5/5 — Dịch vụ khách hàng HSBC thật tuyệt

*2021-04-08, version 3.6.0*

Bất cứ khi nào tôi gặp trở ngại thì bộ phận Dịch vụ khách hàng HSBC cũng sẳn sàng hỗ trợ tôi rất nhiệt tình và chuyên nghiệp. Nhờ vậy con gái của tôi đang du học ở Mỹ mấy năm qua sử dụng dịch vụ thẻ của HSBC rất an toàn, tiện lợi và tôi cũng dễ dàng quản lý chi tiêu hoạt động của con hơn, tiết kiệm chi phí hơn. Tôi vô cùng an tâm và cảm ơn HSBC rất nhiều!!!

### 5/5 — Unexeptable

*2020-05-26*

We couldn’t upgrade the OS due to using this app.
