Great current account with easy online banking

5
Great current account with easy online banking, I use it every week to check my balance and send money etc. The website online is super easy to use compared to other banks. HSBC is the best bank ever and I have been with them for 17 years already! Reviewed on: 15th December 2017

Friendly and helpful staff

4
The staff at my local branch are friendly and helpful. When I asked about making a large payment to a garage for a car I was advised about the best way to do it and also suggested that until I was ready to pay I should move the money to a savings account as it would be safer and earning interest.

HSBC Graduate Account

I have a HSBC Graduate Account. Do most of my banking online. Decent level of security with their encryption. Payments in/out of the account are always fast. Never had an issue with customer service in the bank itself. Reviewed on: 17th November 2017
