Demanding customer but very happy to stay where I am

Moved to them 5 years ago after my previous bank deteriorated badly. Great mobile app, particularly the superb Balance after Bills feature, so you always know what you will have left over to spend, and instant notifications for security and to keep you up to date. Good website, which includes OFX and QIF transaction downloads so you can use your own personal finance software. Only had to ring them a couple of times in five years, and they answered straight away in the middle of the day and were very helpful. Rock solid reliability and dependability, with absolutely no hassles such as glitchy software, logon issues or declined debit or credit card payments that you see with other banks. Apart from the current account and credit card, I've also opened the separate Global Money Account for travelling abroad, and an Online Bonus Saver for quick easy access to extra money through the app if unexpected expenditure arises, and as a holding account until I put money into building society savings. Points for improvement include maybe bringing back the facility to send secure messages from online banking, and increasing the daily transfer limit, but these are very small beer compared to the excellent overall experience. I find their low-ish Ipsos and TrustPilot rankings puzzling, because the bank I left ranks higher with both, but HSBC have been way, way better. Highly recommended if you want hassle-free mobile and online personal banking, that just lets you get on with your life. Reviewed on: 6th September 2024

Good to know

Good service. So impressed to make the effort Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Awful bank, I would not have recommend to anyone.

Awful bank, I would not have recommend to anyone. They sent 2k to my partners account, we got in touch with them reporting suspicious activity on BA and asking them what the money was for. We were told twice that the transaction is all ok but bank did not tell why the money was sent. After a 4 weeks, we have put the money as a deposit for a new car and two days later this bank took the 2k back, causing my partner going into 2k overdraft. Bank contacted again - they admitted this was their fault as someone from them sent the money to the wrong account. They told us there was nothing they could do about it and told my partner he could re-pay monthly, however monthly interest would be applied. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Please avoid this bank.

I feel like most of my friends get a better experience from their banks, e.g a good chunk of money when they open their bank, reasonable credit, and overdrafts. My bank got rid of my student overdraft a year early. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Can’t complain.

Can’t complain. Front line staff could be better trained. The local branch is electronic services. No cash services anymore. I would go to a bank like Metro if it was in town. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Why are they trying to make meuse the bankingapp?.

They seem determined that I have got to have the banking app. Too fiddly. I prefer internet banking! So I now cannot get authorization for payments by credit or debit card. Supposed to send to my phone but they never come! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2024
