The update link takes you to hsbc-verify.org.uk, which is a bogus link. This has been reported and it looks like the following domains also exist:

hsbc-verify.online
hsbc-verify.com
hsbc-verify.org
hsbc-verify.co
hsbc-verify.net
hsbc-verify.me.uk

None of these are registered to HSBC and should be considered dangerous.
