Dreadful App and banking experience

HSBC kinetic admitted to mis-selling this bank account. However, they did not rectify the issues I experienced and continued to inaccurately advertise the product. This meant many more new customers may have chosen a product that could not meet their business needs. Highly surprised that this account/bank has been nominated for an award.

Really easy to use app. Great for business banking. simple and effective. I only wish I was able to sort and organise my transactions a little more. i.e. if I wanted to search out payments made to a supplier, to be able to search and list all those transaction would make this app amazinggg Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

Very good app, easy to use, the best Reviewed on: 30th March 2022

A daunting task made easy.

I had to change banks through lockdown, no banks in Beverley do business account opening in house. So, I found HSBC had a great review for the kinetic account. I was anxious as never opened an account on line before but it proved easy enough even for a luddite like myself! I also had a friendly member working from home giving me his time and experience over the phone to finalise the job. Once set up, I learned to scan cheques, another task not done before, again HSBC made it easy. I can access my account anytime and make changes, which for a self employed sole trader hours are varied, so you grab the time when you can. Overall I'm impressed with the account. Thank you .
