HSBC Kinetic (inactive company) Business account (discontinued) reviews (1942)

Easy to use and useful statistics

4
Very easy to set up. Love that it has its own app. Like the cashflow statistics. Fees are quite low and free for a period of time. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2022

Not great

2
Long sign up process, despite website saying otherwise. Took 2 weeks, communication by message only which dragged things out. Poor options for account management at sign up. Poor progress comms at sign up. App only opens on iPhone every other attempt. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2022

Smooth experience with HSBC connect

5
Having struggled with other accounts providers I was able to set up an account with HSBC in less than five minutes. On my journey into start up businesses so far it has been a great benefit to have such a quick and smooth account to use! Reviewed on: 23rd March 2022

Incredible Experience Start to Finish

5
Setting up your first business can be quite daunting - there's lots going on and lots of plates to be spun. When on the look out for a business bank account - I therefore gravitated to one where it was easy to manage. My kinetic account was incredibly simple to set up - all data was pulled from Companies House and I was up and running in no time. The ability to manage cash flow and see what's going on takes some of the headache out of managing a small business. Brilliant Product! Reviewed on: 22nd March 2022

Pointless, feature free, stick with proper account

Pointless, feature free, stick with proper account. Doesn't work with Ember, you can't download statements at which point I gave up and opened a proper account. Fancy app with little features, wish I opened a proper one and didn't waste time on it. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2022

Opened an account in 2020 for my new business venture. All I need is available 24 hours a day. It has been a great experience and made me confident in online banking. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2022
