The online side of Hsbc is very secure and you will need to remember your security questions and number in order to sign up to online banking. When you log in you need your Internet banking user ID along with your security number plus date of birth. I think this method from Hsbc is very good as it keeps its banker very safe online. The more security the more better for us customers to use online. In the full year of using online banking with Hsbc there has been less problems for me. I normally notice the statements are updated the next day in the morning. The available balance in the only concern for me online with the balance not being up to date straight ...  Read the complete review

I think I've been into a HSBC branch about once in the past 5 years other than to pay cheques in. This is thanks to the online banking service, gone are the days of long ques in banks and rushing to branches in lunch breaks. It's now just a few clicks away, I will check my balance later and it will take me just a few minutes to do. HSBC's online banking is very simple to use, it is set out in a nice simple way, and it feels secure. The only issue is that on the front page where you put your id in, the pages reloads after a few seconds, so you need to wait or you will loose the first part of your id sometimes. You can check all your accounts at once ...  Read the complete review

Just to be clear here, I am reviewing the online banking side of HSBC, as opposed to the actual bank itself. I make this distinction as I don't want this review to be about HSBC deals, promotions or offers. These will change frequently anyway. I have held a current and savings account with HSBC for over twenty years now. There is only one thing that is stopping me switching to another bank for the latest cash incentive and other lucrative new customer offers. No it is not some misguided sense of loyalty. For I know that my bank are in no way loyal to me, otherwise they would not have slashed the interest rate on my accounts to virtually zero (even before the ...  Read the complete review

I have held a account with HSBC since I was, oooh, 11 or so...? A long time anyway. When I went to Uni, I signed up with a few different banks to benefit from the student freebies, but hated dealing with any bank other than HSBC. I have since stayed loyal to this bank, & now hold several accounts with them. I signed up to the online banking service when it first started. Can't remember when that was - several years ago though! I've always thought it's a great service, but it wasn't until I signed up with Halifax online banking (for my mortgage) that I realised just how much better it is than others. The site itself is very modern looking, ...  Read the complete review
