Power of attorney
If you’re looking to register a power of attorney with HSBC to help manage someone’s account, or you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to offer you help and support.
CARE: If you would like HSBC to consider the application of the Power of Attorney to a business account associated with the Donor, please inform us at the time of application.
Your request will be sent to our specialist Commercial Banking team for review, and this is reviewed separately to the application of the Power of Attorney on any personal bank accounts.
Please note: for a Power of Attorney to be considered on a Business account, the Power must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian first.
