Review of the HSBC, Credit Card:

Quick service

Changing from a current account to an Advanced account was quick and simple thanks to the staff who walked me through what was needed. Reviewed on: 31st August 2016

Review of the Halifax, Reward Current Account:

More than expected

I've had a savings account with Halifax for a very long time, but never banked with Halifax before. But since I've switched, I've been glad. From their reward accounts bonuses (of £5 interest), to the Credit Cards £5 cash back for £300+ spend - Halifax have made banking with them worthwhile, as well as easy. No fiddly app required to log in online (unlike HSBC/First Direct and Barclays). The staff at a number of branches I've had to go into have always been very helpful. Definitely a bank worth banking with. Reviewed on: 29th August 2015

Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Frustrating

I've been with HSBC for over 15 years, and whilst I used it regularly during the initial stages, starting work meant I actually shopped around for accounts that suited me. Which inevitably meant I stopped using my HSBC account, and eventually my HSBC Credit Card (for one that provided Cashback). After many months of non-usage, my account was downgraded to a Basic Account, and a week later they announced the perks of having a HSBC Advance account - namely the £10 extra interest a month for having an Advance account + paying in £300 lump sum. So I decided to move my banking back to HSBC and upgrade account from Basic to Advance. Though this would be easy, unfortunately it was not. I could upgrade to Current Account, but for Current Account to Advance, they couldn't do it without me having put money into the account for at least two months (even though I had the salary slips to prove that I earn enough to satisfy their thresholds). In short, had to wait an extra two months and just about got the account upgraded to Advance in time to benefit from the perks. A week later, and it would have been goodbye HSBC again.
