Great benefits with the advance account

Excellent benefits that I use monthly aswell as a good incentive to join the advance account. To give this full marks I feel there branches need to be more staffed because of customer needs aswell as the toll and stress it has on staff Reviewed on: 17th December 2018

Over 22 Years of Service

I have been with HSBC since they were Midland Bank and I was a 12 year old "Griffin Saver". Over time they have really moved with the times. I use their online banking every single day. I check my balances, I move money between accounts and pay friends and family. I used to use their phone banking before internet banking came along and I was always happy with that as well. Recently I locked myself out of my online account and it was really easy to sort out via their helpline. Friendly and quick service. I have a paperless account as well which is very important to me. I don't need paper bills and it's just a waste. Reviewed on: 17th December 2018
