The setup process is so cumbersome, annoying and time consuming. It requires Location access — no way I’m going to risk myself because HSBC can’t develop an app without asking for sensitive information. For some so called “security” reason, it requires you to not use WiFi during setup and needs data to be turned on. Next, you can’t switch to another app during registration to lookup any information. If you do, then the app forces you to send a fresh SMS again. Once you cross these hurdles, you have to fight the Register button, which does nothing when tapped even after you’ve selected the default account. It’s 2020 — which security expert advised your team to use Security Questions and Answers? That’s the best way to expose your customers to hacks and frauds!
Overall, this app is an exercise in bad user experiences and even worse security. Better use some other bank’s app for UPI.
