Now I know this is quite staff intensive, and I guess there's a maths professor that has worked out how inefficient it is compare to possible losses, but HSBC now send their cards through the post like everyone else....not even Recorded Delivery.
i still have to go pick up my cards from an hsbc branch, with photo/signature id...
