    Question Proof of address if changing address?

    I've had a HSBC Personal bank account for a couple of years. It was opened with an address/residence in Europe. I have moved to South America now. If I change the address online (e-banking), will I be asked to submit proof of address again? Or could there be any other issues coming up in the process?

    Thanks a lot, that sounds reassuring. I hope they haven't changed the rules!

    I don't have experience with HSBC but do have with other banks. Since the last few years (3 or so?) they start to ask for some proof of your new address. Sending a copy of a recent utility bill, phone bill or cable TV bill was in my case sufficient to satisfy the bank.
