Easy to access, user-friendly tech

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

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

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

Perfect for my needs.

When I switched from self-employed to limited company I needed a business account. Being with HSBC for my personal account I contacted HSBC and they recommended HSBC Kinetic. From the performance reports to the financial tools (connecting to Xero, Quickbooks or Sage) everything has been made seemless and easier to save time (which is highly wanted when having a business) I wiykd highly recommend HSBC Kinetic.
