Not Enough Branches

Over the years there seems to be less and less HSBC branches open locally. They are also not open convenient hours. Reviewed on: 6th February 2018

Super easy to keep track of everything on the go!

I want to tell you how much I love the HSBC banking app, it literally makes keeping track of my money so easy. I can transfer to my savings (or transfer back if I'm having a spending spree) make payments to friends and family and just generally keep a track on my incomings and outgoings, all from a click of a button where ever I am. I recently got married and went in to branch to change my name, I was in and out with 15mins and my new cards arrived within a week. For me though the highlight of HSBC (my friends and family think I'm crazy to get this excited) but they sent me a left handed cheque book, I've been struggling to fill cheques in for nearly 15 years, not anymore thanks to HSBC!
