Good Points
Same as other Student Accounts

Bad Points
Staff do their best, but it's not good enough.
They wouldn't accept my University acceptance letter (Liverpool) as proof of address, or my driving licence.

General Comments
Opening an HSBS Student Account account seems to be a difficult task. The checklist they give you of Proof of address, identification and acceptance letter seems simple, bit it's not. I took my acceptance letter, two forms of ID and letters from the student finance department and council etc. All letters had my address, as well as their letterheads. However, it appears that I need more proof of address.



However, they do have some great services. But paying in a check can take weeks.
