I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England)
Interview
After the online application, I completed the numerical test and was invited to a phone interview, which was entirely competency-based. With preparation and some research this is manageable. A credit check follows and if you pass it, you get the invitation to their AC.
