I am now in the process of changing my bank over because I am so fed up of not being able to access my account on my mobile. This happened to me once before and I swapped my app over to an Iphone 15, which has been working fine. The app is such a pain to get it to work. On this occasion I have been trying for 5 days to delete and reload the app. I have just called the customer service - who was a very nice lady - but they cannot do anything for me and have logged it to the IT dept. I'm sat here still watching the whirring go around but not able to see what is happening in my account. This just isn't worth £6.50 a month. I really would recommend going elsewhere and save yourself some hassle. Reviewed on: 5th March 2025

Banking so simple you don't think about it

5
I have held an HSBC Kinetic account for 3 years now and I have found banking a breeze. My account links directly to Quick Books and to Square where we take online and in-person payments. The overdraft facility is easy to access and competitive compared to other banks I looked at, There are no fees - unless you have an overdraft. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

HSBC are best avoided and waste my time

1
I am a small business owner and HSBC continue to take up a huge amount of time will simple enquiries. Staff who cannot be understood and don't understand any of their products. They direct you to the website, then the website states give us a call and you end up in loops. I have wasted hours and hours trying to speak to somebody competent but been unsuccessful. They also often hang up on you when you are on hold. I will be changing my bank. Reviewed on: 25th February 2025

Very disappointed. Our account been blocked without any reason. After 3 weeks still nobody can answer when we will be able to use our account. Money on the account can't be use in any way. We can't run the business as we can't make any payments. Some friend told me that his account been frozen for 6 months in HSBC. They are not a bank They are fraudsters. Highly not recommended.

Our account has been blocked without any reason. We didn't get any information what was happening. We had booked payments for our suppliers and we couldn't make any payments. I not recommend this account to any business. Make us big trouble........ Reviewed on: 12th October 2023

Not multi user friendly

1
For use by one person only, unable to allow office to use due to the sessions timing out and needing to log on frequently with a code sent to my mobile - if i'm out of the office and they need access it's terrible. Especially when they need to do the books! Reviewed on: 6th June 2023

Reply from HSBC Kinetic Hi, HSBC Kinetic has been designed for sole trader or single director sole shareholder businesses and should only be used by the business owner. If you need an account which offers multi-user access for your team to do the books HSBC has a range of business current accounts which would be more suitable for your needs, they also offer app and desktop banking, you can find out more details at business.hsbc.uk. Many thanks Response date: 7th June 2023
