Classy

Always classy and happy to help Reviewed on: 18th November 2018

Good

5
Never had any problems with them. Reviewed on: 18th November 2018

Good free account with savings attached.

4
Easy to set up, although had to make an appointment to organise my switch to them from another firm. I primarily use them as they have a branch near my work, so it's convenient to pay in money, primarily through the automated machines. Staff have always been helpful in branch when needed.

Great

Great banking experience , been with them for years ans really happy with them Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Low overdraft charges

5
I've been with HSBC for a long time and that's mainly because it's always been so easy. Good online banking and the fact that they don't have a set charge for dipping into your overdraft ( just a daily interest which works out far cheaper) means I'd be reluctant to change. Reviewed on: 11th November 2018

Uninspiring

3
They do nothing awful and nothing amazing. The middle of the road. Reviewed on: 10th November 2018
