The app is great

4
The HSBC Kinetic app is great. It does everything you need it to and is intuitive and simple to use. Deducted one star, since the browser-based version is pretty useless and has hardly any of the functionality of the app, but I don't need to use it that much, so it's not a major issue.

Hassle free

Hassle free process and service, as a startup owner its hard to spend lot of time on account opening but these guys made it so simple and easy to go Reviewed on: 8th March 2023

A simple account for simple businesses

4
HSBC set the account up very quickly and were extremely helpful in facilitating this process and I would recommend the account to others on this experience alone. I have operated the account for a year for a simple company and it does everything I need of it perfectly, quickly and efficiently. There's nothing to complain or criticise about it, I am a happy customer! Reviewed on: 8th March 2023
Reply from HSBC Kinetic Thanks Alastair, we're delighted to here that you're happy and that everything's working efficiently for you. Response date: 9th March 2023

Convenient and Straightforward

4
I have had nothing but positive experiences since I opened this account for my business. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because there are no statements available to view online for the savings account and it is one of the bank accounts which is affected by Xero duplicating transactions from time to time when importing.
