In a recent update to the HSBC app they’ve added a screen to prevent you from using the app unless you use the default (google) keyboard.
They do a similar thing if you have an accessibility service running that can access the screens content. A fair enough security warning if you’ve happened to install a dodgy keyboard app, but highly frustrating when using an open source alternative that enhances the security and privacy over the default option (HeliBoard in my case).
I haven’t found a way to circumvent the page yet. It would be useful if Android allowed you to block the permission to query all packages, but alas.
Move to a credit union. HSBC is terrible.
Yeah, I don’t really have a reason to stay with HSBC. A responsible me would look for a bank with better credit card interest. Might as well shop around for a new one.
Hell yeah! And make sure to tell them the reason for closing your account too
