aha! - this is what i'm after... i couldn't understand why they don't seem
to provide this type of plug-and-play non-SSL service. there must be lots of
smaller ecommerce retailers who need a simple 'worldpay' style solution.

can anyone confirm/deny that HSBC have this type of service?

the HSBC documentation provided by the client is shockingly bad. the website
is useless too.
