HSBC are the best

I've been with the HSBC for over 20 years and have never had any issues with them. I've had loans, credit cards and ever a mortgage over the years...the process was always simple to follow, I now do most of my banking online, which is even easier since the latest version of their mobile app was launched. Love being able to take a picture of a cheque to pay it in. Keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 10th January 2019
