HSBC could withdraw its app from Windows Phone and holds Windows Phone responsible for its dubious future

HSBC or what is the same, The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. It may not tell us anything either with the following or with the name. Or maybe it is, as it is a British multinational banking and financial services company that ranks third in the world as a bank by number of assets. Therefore, we are dealing with a weighty company, especially in a sector such as banking.

A great company that, like all self-respecting companies, has its own application for its clients to manage all their products.An application for iOS, Android and Windows Phone Presence on the three most important mobile platforms, a number that will soon be reduced to two, since from the equation it will be seen removed the one that corresponds to Windows Phone. That at least is what emerges from a statement via email that we will now see.

And it is that the mobile operating system of those from Redmond continues with its particular indentation of applications Apps that with greater or lesser importance disappear from the catalogue, a fact that indirectly encourages users to try another platform that does have that application.

The information, of which for now there is no official confirmation, comes from an email that is being sent from HSBC France to some customers using the HSBC app on Windows Phone. This is the transcription of the email sent:

If we pay attention to the alleged email, which for now and how we say, is not confirmed, we see how HSBC blames this change of opinion when managing its application, because of the policy that Microsoft carries out with its mobile platform It seems that the multinational is not convinced with the look and direction that Windows Phone is taking and prefers to focus its efforts on iOS and Android .

And by the way, at the same time that they announce their withdrawal, they invite, on the one hand, to use their own website for data management, something normal on the other hand, but also invite you to switch to iOS or Android if you want to continue using the app.

To be honest, we are not talking about LinkedIn, Instagram or Telegram for example. Very popular applications (just to name three) that if they left would create an earthquake. However this possibility must be assessed (not confirmed) disappearance like one more small grain of sandthat serves to add weight to the slab that increasingly buries the Windows mobile platform.
