Looks to be identical to the Nationwide one apart from the colour of the

Not always. I used my Barclays one yesterday to validate a Lloyds

They are pin code specific accord
ing to HSBC.

That seems unlikely. I have more than one account with my bank and all
their cards work in the same card reader (different PINs).

Until recently HSBC used a magic clock 6 digit dongle device which was
user account linked but the new one is more like a card reader. I no
longer bank with them.
