    I believe they are just indiscriminately checking for the installed source (an information available from Android). If the installed source is not from Google Play Store, it will attempt to block. In this case, app is installed from f-droid.

    this is not just HSBC, a lot of Asian banks implemented this, likely as a reaction to the scam cases.
