Hi Chris,
I'm a novice with this stuff - do you have something like this available for regular HSBC banking accounts? The problem isn't just with their business accounts but their regular accounts as well...
Thanks,
jane

Hey Chris,

I also made a userscript to pad the lack of features of HSBC banking site, you could be interested: https://github.com/jobwat/hsbc-account-history-rerender.user.js

Thanks for sharing! :)

@poisonrange: I know your comment is couple months old, but you may be interested in my version of the script that works for regular accounts.
