Re: HSBC Direct $25 Bonus vs Emigrant Direct Bank (Is ING even in the competition?)
I tried "start" on March 23 when I opened my HSBC account but nothing happened. I telephoned and the rep said the bonus offer had ended. Ten days later (4/3/2006) the account is set up, funded but I am waiting for HSBC to send me my PIN number via snail mail. Without it I can't log on to my internet savings account even though I know it's established since I phoned to make sure it was. It's all a matter of security with HSBC. It's frustrating but at the same time comforting to know they take a lot of precautions to prevent fraud.
