Review of the HSBC, Premier bank account:

View on product page

Exchange rates on intra account transfers are very poor

I bank with HSBC in the US and UK (I need a bank that will give me both). Service is indifferent with most branches closing in US. It is slightly redeemed by a good internet banking site. However, as a Premier customer, I have to transfer funds between my own accounts from UK and US. HSBC takes a whopping margin or spread of 3.25% over the market exchange rates which is more than many credit cards take. I wrote to them about it but received a letter basically saying they could not discuss it due to "commercial sensitivity". At 3.25%, doesn't seem very sensitive. Reviewed on: 6th December 2021
