https://zing.me/ is the website
Signed up, waiting on approval 
Hereâs a super interesting one. You can verify your address with geolocation, no need to use credit checking agencies
Okay, preliminary Zing review.
Should have waited a few weeks and I never understand why HSBC is physically unable to leverage the core of their business, being international. HSBCâs international only seems to be a thing if you remit in currencies like pounds/euro/dollars at a minimum
Signed up as well. Limited choice of currency wallets (just seemingly where HSBC operate), but GBP, EUR, and USD wallets will suit my purposes. Virtual card provided, and a physical card on its way by early next week. Conversion from 10GBP to around 11.49EUR incurred a fee of 6p - not bad, but not as good as others. Euro wallet has a GB IBAN - interesting that checking it out show the account is with âthe Currency Cloudâ and not HSBC itself.
IBAN: GB10TCCLxxxxxxxxxx IBAN into the clipboard
BIC: TCCLGB31 BIC into the clipboard
Bank: CurrencyCloud
SEPA Credit Transfer is supported.
SEPA Direct Debit is not supported.
B2B is not supported.
SEPA Instant Credit Transfer is not supported.
I note with interest that presently you canât send/transfer FROM the EUR/USD wallet elsewhere - just back to GPB - you just get a blank page when you click the âsendâ function from Euros.
I assume the same is true for USD, I havenât tried.
EDIT: Ouff. You CAN send money from your Euro IBAN - a rather circuitous route via âMake a Paymentâ button on the front page (which is not the front page when you log inâŚ), then âPay someone newâ, then changing the currency to Euros, then inputting the IBAN. Only then do you find out that for a âŹ5 transfer, they want a 58p fee.
I signed up.
When I topped using open banking the redirection back to the app gave a web page with 404 error, so I had to open the app manually. I left them feedback about it in the app.
Tried signing up. Immediately was rejected after passing the identity process 
Not sure why. Never been rejected by a bank before!
Signed up yesterday. Still pending verification 
What address verification method did you use? I used the GPS one for my location and avoid credit checks
Hmm I donât recall there being one. I know it asked me to take a photo of my passport and confirm my identity. I did that, took a photo of my face and it said it was processing. It then processed and said Iâd passed. About a minute later I got an email saying my account was rejected. Weird.
Thought iâd sign up too for a bit of fun + a new card. Did driving licence then it wanted to do GPS after that, so iâm guessing it didnât like your ID for some reason, can you try again?
Amazing that i was up and running with apple wallet etc in about 20 minutes start to finish, whereas co op bank took 3 weeks and i still donât have a cardâŚtechnology!
I sent a small fund to the new Zing account from my own HSBC account via the Open Banking option. Payment is immediately being withheld and I need to provide the senderâs information via email. 
My card has turned up - sent from Frankfurt, no less. Fairly minimalist design. Tiny signature panel on the back and like Bunq, the CVV is only available âin appâ

Have you checked if the BIN is also German?
No, though the cardâs IBAN belongs to the Currency Cloud rather than HSBC.
Whatâs the first six digits?
it shows up as currency cloud on the Santander app when you put the sort code in, if that means anythingâŚ
This one is more accurate: Credit Card BIN Numbers Database | Bank Identification Number Lookup | BIN List 2023
Showing up as GB, Visa Infinite.
Nice that itâs Infinite, shame it wasnât EU issued.
I was recently rejected by Metro bank for a savings account, similarly after Iâd verified my driving licence and done the selfie. My first bank rejection ever, which Iâm still quite surprised and confused about!
So Iâm interested to try Zing now just to see if I get accepted. Hoping Metro was a one-off and thereâs not a bigger issue like a mistake on my credit file or maybe my several-years-old driving licence photo doesnât look enough like me anymore!?
I remember having a problem with the automated ID checks in the Chase app and it had to go to manual review. But it seems some banks donât have that manual option, itâs just a failed match and youâre out.

Iâve found that we canât use the driving licence in NI as weâve only eight digits for the driver number rather than the sixteen on the GB licence (there isnât a UK license despite it saying UK on both the NI and GB ones).
