The best.

I have several credit cards and have found HSBC the best of the lot. They always offer decent balance transfers from other cards and am always kept informed in regular emails.I like this company a lot.

Despite setting up a direct debit to always pay my credit card off at the end of the period (under the premise of "never needing to worry about late fees"), it turns out that the direct debit only lasts one year. Without notification, and once in the habit of not paying it off manually, suddenly the direct debit disappears and rather predictably I got stung with a late fee. HSBC support very unhelpful in dealing with the matter.

Efficient fast credit card provider

Very efficient on line application for a new credit card, granted within minutes and arrived 48 hrs later. 18 months interest free and £25 incentive what’s not to like. Good online app to support banking with Hsbc too

Complete nightmare to set up online banking, with phone calls, telephone security codes, questions, phrases, s downloading app to generate yet another code. Then if you forget one thing that's it no second chances. No other bank I have dealt with makes it so difficult to use, you must get it right or your locked out!. The customer service couldn't care less, I got locked out just because i done a typo on my phone with my date of birth, put in month as 18 instead of 10 which is an obvious typo but locked out I was.again! and have to wait 5 days before i can call up again whilst waiting on the post. Thank god I'm on the 0%,all i want to do is pay in more money!!! I may have to take out another credit card to pay this one off and get rid

Out of date service

Setup was simple via the app as a existing current account customer but direct debit setup and requesting additional card seems archaic either a sloppy online form or PDF to download and post. This is surprising in this day and age.

Nightmare for balance transfer

So, you can't transfer from another card until you can log on, and you can't log on until you get an activatation code/card reader ( no sign after two weeks) and if, like me, you have no mobile signal, then you are stuffed. Of course you don't find this Read more

So, you can't transfer from another card until you can log on, and you can't log on until you get an activatation code/card reader ( no sign after two weeks) and if, like me, you have no mobile signal, then you are stuffed. Of course you don't find this out until you have spent ages getting a telephone activation code (20 mins) and set a ridiculous number of passwords. Ok, so you can do a transfer over the phone. First call took 40 mins to be told that I couldn't do the transfer and that I had to call Sainsburys. Another 25 mins on hold, and after they stopped laughing, was told that HSBC had to initiate (well I knew that anyway didn't I?). So back we go to HSBC, and after 1 hour and 40 mins (yes really) the transfer is done. So to sum up, if you have nothing better to do than waste your time and you have a mobile signal and like nothing better than setting interminable passwords/security questions then HSBC is for you!
