I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HSBC (Leeds, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
The online interview was through Hirevue and there are four parts to finish including replying an email, some video questions based on specific scenario, calculations. You will have 3 mins to prepare and answer in 2 mins. Time for writing emails is 6 mins, sort of tight.
there are some questions like how to build relationship with your new clients, how to deal with an immediate payment authorization without enough required documents, and how to prevent such situation in the future.
The calculation thing was about some currency rate, percentage, not very hard.
