Ongoing Issues With HSBC Bank Feeds
Incident Report for FreeAgent
Resolved
We've confirmed that the vast majority of our HSBC Bank Feeds are back up and running and are therefore marking this widespread incident as solved.

Some customers reporting occasional errors when importing their latest transactions, though these are normally solved with a simple retry. We will continue to monitor the situation and have plans to integrate directly with HSBC in the coming months.

If you continue to experience persistent issues with your HSBC Bank Feed(s), please reach out via support@freeagent.com and we'll happily take a closer look for you.

If you're still having problems importing via your HSBC feeds, please rest assured that these issues are being actively investigated.

When downloading your transactions from HSBC, to prevent transaction duplication, please ensure you select a date range that doesn't overlap with transactions that are already present in FreeAgent. Don't worry, when your bank feed is up and running, it will ignore days for which statements have been uploaded.

We will continue posting updates to this status page as we work with Yodlee and we really appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Thank you.
