The Truth!

I would not recommend this product. It is half baked and barely functional. The functionality across other HSBC products is Poor. The banking support is lamentable - closing at 5pm and not available at the weekend. Shocking. The idea this is in anyway up for an award is a disgrace and a fantasy. Reviewed on: 7th March 2023

My bank of choice

I have been banking with HSBC ever since I moved to the UK. So for me it was a no brainer that I would choose them when it came to my limited company too. The whole process from the outset has been straightforward and simplified. I highly recommend them Reviewed on: 7th March 2023

For the biggest bank in the world, with all their money and a humongous IT budget, the HSBC Kinetic app is rubbish and it's been out a while with little or no updates or fixes to problems even after reporting issues and givinfg sugestions, so, not taking on customer feedback. Not all transactions show up, mu Kinetic account doesn't tally with my accounts It doesn't show a anualy projection or 6 month income/outgoings, this was in the 'old' app, so why not a new spangily app? When scrolling payees, it decides to flick between the keyboard making it very difficult to select, they also decided to remove some of payees, however it's really easy to find their details again and add them to a mobile app when I'm 'mobile'. thanks. It's worse than the app, but HSBC decided to remove the abililty to downgrade back to the old app, thanks. Hope you lose spectacularly, HSBC. Reviewed on: 7th March 2023
Reply from HSBC Kinetic Thanks for your review, we make monthly updates to the app to add new products, features and to ensure the app runs smoothly. Our app provides a 3 month projection of cashflow outlook. Thank you for your feedback and about our payments. Response date: 30th March 2023
