Household HSBC Watch

This is like that episode of “The Twilight Zone” where everyone looked like pigs except for the one blonde girl. Unreal, so to speak. The issue is “When Direct Deposit Goes Bad.” Written and directed by HSBC, this is computer generated. If it were a remake of “The Twilight Zone” it would certainly be all CGI. We are talking about HSBC’s massive computer melt down.

Under an interim solution announced Thursday, Catholic Health employees can take their direct-deposit paystubs to any HSBC branch and HSBC will pay them what they are owed. If they are not also HSBC customers, the employees will have to write a personal check to HSBC for the amount they receive. That’s great guys. But what if you are not near a branch and not a Catholic Health employee?
