# HSBC UK + Krokul CRM

Krokul connects an account at HSBC UK through Salt Edge. Salt Edge lists 4 connections for HSBC UK in the United Kingdom: HSBC, HSBC Business, HSBC Kinetic and HSBCnet. Credits on these accounts land in Krokul Incoming and are matched to open payment plan lines on deals. The connection follows Salt Edge documentation and has not yet been checked on a live HSBC UK account.

**Status:** Via aggregator, not verified.

## What your team gets

### Business accounts at HSBC UK

Salt Edge lists 3 HSBC UK connections with business accounts: HSBC Business, HSBC Kinetic and HSBCnet. You pick the one your company signs in to, and Krokul reads the accounts that sign-in can see.

### Which HSBC UK accounts appear

Through Salt Edge, HSBC UK shows current accounts, cards, credit cards, debit cards and savings accounts. Krokul records only credits, the money coming in, and matches them by the payment code, the amount and the payer. Debits and card spending stay out of Incoming.

### Payments from HSBC UK stay in HSBC UK

Salt Edge also offers payment initiation and variable recurring payments for HSBC UK. Krokul does not use them: it reads incoming money and never moves it.

### A HSBC UK credit pays the deal

A sure match, one open line with the same code or amount and payer, is recorded on the deal as a payment. Two equal amounts on two deals or no match at all wait in Incoming for the accountant, and the Salt Edge transaction ID keeps the same HSBC UK credit from being booked twice.

## Questions and answers

### Does HSBC UK work with Krokul directly?

No. Krokul connects an account at HSBC UK through Salt Edge, which holds the licence to read account data and reaches HSBC UK over a regulated open banking API. HSBC UK is not involved in Krokul and does not endorse it.

### How far back does Krokul read HSBC UK transactions, and how often?

On the first connection Krokul asks Salt Edge for the last 90 days, then checks for new transactions every 2 hours. The Salt Edge coverage list does not say how much history HSBC UK itself returns, so the first import shows what the bank gives.

### What does Salt Edge read from HSBC UK?

Salt Edge can read accounts with balances, accounts without balances, account holder details and transactions from HSBC UK; HSBC Kinetic gives accounts with balances, account holder details and transactions. Krokul asks only for accounts and transactions.

### Has Krokul tested the HSBC UK connection?

Not yet. The Salt Edge connector is built from Salt Edge documentation and tested against a simulated API. The status on this page changes once a live HSBC UK account has been connected.

## Limits

Not checked on a live HSBC UK account yet. Krokul reads credits only and never pays from HSBC UK. Access to the account works under the Salt Edge licence: you accept Salt Edge terms when you connect.
