Felicitys374's review of HSBC Business

“Antiquated, and definitely not 'the world's local bank'!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Felicitys374 on 30/04/2016

Apart from all the other irritations that other reviewers have mentioned, the most irritating thing by far is that you can only make international transfers between 8am and 3.30pm Monday - Friday. I find it hard to believe I am even writing that in 2016! This makes the account next to useless for businesses with international suppliers, which I would guess includes a large number of SMEs these days. Our suppliers in California do not open until 5pm UK time, so when we get an invoice from them on a Friday we, rather embarrassingly, can do nothing to pay it until the following Monday. I am pretty sure 'The world's local bank' was some kind of in-joke that someone in their marketing department took seriously. DO NOT get an HSBC business bank account if you ever plan on doing any international business, or even if you have any hopes or plans for your business to grow.
