I needed a new business account so had a look around and went with HSBC Kinetic as I personally bank with First Direct. The sign up process could not have been easier. The app allows me to keep track of my money with ease. The debit card makes purchases simple. There's nothing not to like. Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

The most stress-free part of starting a new business

I used a company-startup agency to form a new LTD company this year, they offered free cash to those who went with one of their banking partners...well I had one missed call that when I tried to return the call I got an automated response and never a call-back. I then tried HSBC Kinetic, no free cash, but a new business account setup in minutes. Got my vote! Reviewed on: 30th March 2022
