Simple to set up no nonsence

3
When something is no nonsence ,something else has been sacrificed to achieve this ... Customer service is close to very poor, no one knows what they are doing and you get passed around departments after waiting a minimum 30mins each time . It took 4 days to just have a fraud case logged! To say it's all online and electronic banking ,even your I'd set up when opening the account .....it stops there ,there's no online customer service , one chat took one day to respond to say "hi" . So you still have to go back to calling someone and a full process . Then having to go to my local branch to pick up my bank card . Initially easy and good to set up and no fuss ....the fuss all comes afterwords . If this can be changed or improved then it would be beyond any other business banking . Reviewed on: 11th March 2022

Easy to access, user-friendly tech

5
Setting up this account was totally hassle-free and took the fear out of some of the tasks needed to set up my business. The process was slick, no issues, and the app is really easy to use. Way better than expected! Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 11th March 2022

Easy to use

5
I set it up with no problems and find it very easy to use on a day to day basis. The rates are very competitive as I did some research on what was on offer by over 10 different organisations and when allowing for the hidden costs on many accounts this seemed the best deal available to a small business.

Speedy, easy, business banking

5
The Kinetic account is amazing for business owners - easy to set up, easy to navigate and easy to communicate should you have any questions/queries. The additional features make the app stand out from the rest with its spending tracking/budgeting software - I use it everyday. Reviewed on: 11th March 2022

Rapid Online Business Account Setup

5
Absolutely amazing how quick my business account was set up and to do it all online including all identity checks was so streamlined, one bank wanted me to travel over 50 miles to show them a passport, would highly recommend and already have done so, HSBC Kinetic to everyone Reviewed on: 11th March 2022
