We are happy if you share our content and like our page. We do not automatically like back new fans. If we do like you, this does not imply endorsement of any kind from HSBC.

We're actively watching what people are saying to and about HSBC on Facebook and value your feedback. However, because of the public nature of the platform, we simply can't respond to or engage on all issues.

HSBC's Facebook presences cannot discuss personal account details via Direct Messages on Facebook. If you have an inquiry requiring the sharing of such information, please send us a message through the HSBC Personal Internet Banking or contact us through HSBC phone banking.

The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong") ("HSBC" or the "Bank") operates channels, pages and accounts on some social media sites to inform, assist and engage with customers. Unless stated otherwise, these are intended for Hong Kong customers and designed for use in HongKong. We monitor and record comments and posts made on these channels about the Bank so that we can improve our services.

HSBC is not responsible for any information posted on those sites other than information we have posted ourselves. We do not endorse the social media sites themselves, their products or services, or any information posted on them by third parties or other users. The terms of use and policies of the social media sites used by the Bank (e.g. Facebook) also apply to your use of the Bank's channels and pages, and you should ensure that you follow these terms of use and policies as well as those of the Bank.
