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

Good customer service

4
Good customer service, they always go out of their way to help in my branch Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Could try harder

3
In terms of functionality no complaints, ease of use is good but compared to other banks out there the 'thank yous' you get in the way of cash back offers are poor. Most if all offers are only if you shop online at obscure retailers or those places you would normally shop instore. Take the likes of Lloyds who do mega amounts of cashback deals on lots of places that you eat and shop regularly, with no requirement that you need to shop online! Reviewed on: 9th November 2018

Great service

5
