Quite a simple email this, working on the premise that the bank is supposed to have upgraded software so now needs a reminder of your details...
It's totally text, so no need for an image really. It is sent to 'undisclosed recipients' and uses a generic welcome - not a specific welcome (by name) that a bank really would use.
The target URL is http://www.ssachat.com/profiles/system/cache/images/hsbc/submit.php?cmd=login, which although not the sort of site I would visit myself (!!), it doesn't look connected to Phishing, so it's likely to be an unwitting victim itself.
A copy has been sent to phishing@hsbc.com. Here's the content:
