Excellent user experience providing exactly what my business needs for essential banking purposes. The Kinetic App is the best banking App I have used, with exceptional clarity of information, security, and functions designed for businesses. When I have needed to contact the help service, responses have been expedient, informed, and always solved the query in a timely fashion. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Better than the phone!

Very poor customer experience

Took nearly 4 weeks to progress my application. When I called to chase it up it sounded as though it had sat on a server somewhere and not been picked up. I went off to Tide and received account details the same day! I am surprised that a huge budget bank like HSBC could get it so wrong. Hats off to the neobanks! Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Very easy and helpful app. Setting up process was easy and connects easy with my accountants expense ledger app. Would be good to have more comms on other offers to help small businesses. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2022

Excellent, easy to use and convenient

I recently opened a business account with HSBC Kinetic and I must say, it was a pleasant and straightforward experience getting the account set up without much hassle. Once done, all relevant information about how to operate the account, fees and other offers available was easy to access. Operating the account is simple so far and statements arrive timeously.
