HSBC blocked my card when I was in Hong Kong for 2 weeks. They said when I 
came back tot he UK it could be reactived.

When I got back to the UK, after arguing with a number of different 
flavoured idiots, they insisted upon cancelling my card and posting me a new 
one, which took 3 weeks.

Their excuse for leaving me without a cash card for a total of 5 weeks was 
"suspicious transactions".

The "suspicion transactions" were classified... no one knew what they were, 
no one ever confirmed it... I imagine, a cash withdrawal from Hong Kong 
though.

They also charge me £20 every 12 months to "arrange" my overdraft, so nice 
and consistent

Their internet banking is good though.
