HSBC, good but lacks options...

4
Overall, HSBC are a decent bank with generally quick and good customer service. The area it lacks the most is it's accounts, they aren't competitive and don't provide decent interest rates. The app is really easy to use and handy to see all your accounts in one place... Unless you've had to move elsewhere for better rates. GIA account is nice and simple and gives great options for investors of all levels. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2024

HSBC Global Account

I started to use HSBC Global Account especially when I am abroad because of the good exchange rates. No need to exchange and carry cash with you, just use your Global account debit card. Reviewed on: 18th February 2024

Easy to access money and I find their online assistance helpful when I have used them. Reviewed on: 16th February 2024

No interest on my current account is poor to be fair .

No interest on my current account is poor to be fair . However, 4% on the Online Bonus saver is good - Think they need to higher the 50k top limit though if they want to compete with Chase ! Reviewed on: 16th February 2024
