You can receive money via your mobile number without registering for FPS if you meet all of the following criteria:
HSBC account holders who meet the above criteria but do not want to receive money via their mobile number can call our customer service hotline to opt out.
As FPS transfers are instant, many banks may have imposed stricter controls in place to make sure the recipient's name and bank account number match. If you are transferring via account number and you've used a nickname to add this person to 'My payees', the payment will be rejected.
Please ask your payee for the exact name the account is registered under. You'll then need to remove them from 'My payees' and add them again using their official name listed on their bank records.
Please note that you don't need to do this if your payee has registered for FPS and you have saved them to 'My payees' using one of their Proxy IDs (mobile number, email address and FPS Identifier).

Because FPS transfers are instant, we are putting stricter controls in place to make sure the recipient's name and bank account number match. If someone is transferring money to you via account number and they've used a nickname to register you in their system, the payment will be rejected.
To send money via your account number, this person will need to use the official name that your account is registered under. If you're unsure what that is, you can check your bank statement.
Alternatively, you can register for FPS to receive money via Proxy ID (mobile number, email address and/or FPS Identifier), so the person won't have to enter your name.
If your transaction is successful, you will receive an SMS and email notification. The record will also show in your transaction history.
