Apply for an account faster – without visiting a branch
With HSBC EasyID you can start and finish your account application online and within a few minutes with instant identity verification.
Just one form of ID needed for online account opening
Before you start, you’ll need to have one of the following valid, unexpired pieces of ID on-hand:
- Canadian / Foreign Passport
- Driver’s Licence in Canada, US and Mexico
- Canadian Provincial Government-Issued ID (except health card) / Canadian Permanent Resident Card
How it works:
When prompted, using your mobile phone or tablet:
1. Take a photo of your valid ID.
2. Capture your selfie or short video. Don’t worry you can retake if you don’t like it!
3. Complete the application.
If you are on your laptop or desktop, we just ask you to switch to your mobile device to complete those steps.
That’s it!
