Good Current Account

Switched to HSBC mainly because of the £175 incentive offer. No issues so far. Switch was fine and the online and app banking works well. Reviewed on: 10th May 2019

Advance Current Account

A very reliable banking experience and good customer service. Reviewed on: 29th April 2019

Friendly 24h service

But wish more was available via internet banking Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Great service and good rates

I switched to HSBC to take advantage of the switching financial incentive. The service throughout was fantastic I was kept informed at every stage. The £175 benefit was received with no problems just one month after the switch. I was then offered the opportunity to open a savings account at 5% interest, pretty unheard of these days which was an added bonus! From my last bank HSBC are a breath of fresh air, not sure why I waited so long to switch! Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Login difficult and fraud on opening account

I switched my account to HSBC but within two months closed it and moved back to my old bank. The app and website is excessively difficult to sign in to with too many passwords and PINs. I also received two different fraud attempts almost immediately upon opening - something I've never encountered with my old bank. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Great Bank

Does all I want in a completely seamless manner Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Great bank

Wonderful fraud protection, had multiple attempts of fraud and every time they've caught it before I've even noticed anything. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019
