All good apart from depositing cheques on the app. You're never sure if it's worked or not as takes days to appear on account. Doesn't even show as pending. Reviewed on: 31st January 2023

AVOID - Funds fossil fuel industry

1
AVOID - I have been with HSBC for quite a lot of years now. As a bank, they are ok to use, but i am so disappointed and angry about the billions of pounds that they invest in the fossil fuel industry. If banks actually cared about the world/ people etc then they would divest the money away from the dangerous fossil fuels that is harming the environment and move the investments into more sustainable industries. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID Reviewed on: 26th January 2023
