It's the pay day before a three-day weekend so they're understandably furious.
The bank said on Twitter two hours ago that it's "working hard to rectify the issue some customers are experiencing with expected payments today." There's an issue affecting the BACS payment system, according to the bank.
A Bank of England spokesperson said the regulator was "in contact with HSBC."
Customers are venting their frustration at the bank's social media accounts:
