HSBC Bank Review

Overall Rating

I have been banking with HSBC for a month now. I walked in to open a business banking account. Because I am outside the UK they have arranged an appointment for me on saturday to open the account, after I contacted them via email. I am Italian, resident in Poland, working in Ireland, with a business in the UK, and yes, they are really the world's local bank. They could arrange everything for me in minutes. In Italy any bank would tell me to have a normal life first and then go for an account. I now have a business and a personal plus account (and two saving accounts) which includes travel insurance (good point for me). I got my debit card in a few days, and I can now manage the whole lot via internet banking wherever I am. I sent a form to enable international transfers for the business internet banking, and everything was operative in a few days. So far, it is the best experience I ever had with a bank.
