You get tons of search results for HSBC but none of mine were about a bank.

Really ? And what search engine were you using, because at a quick test via vpn google in USA, UK, NL, MX, and AU all came up with it as the first option.

Or you could you know type hsbc.com into your browser and immediately work it out from the big "online banking" link in the right corner.

To put it another way, I don't believe you.
