Yes, as they are highly recommended. They offer an excellent banking service, the best in the industry in terms of customer services.0

They're great. Took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and wouldn't go back. Customer service is great, and they're quick to get things done.
How much would you be paying in though? If it's less than £1500 each month or you don't (want to) hold a mortgage with them it'd be a tenner a month after the first 6 months.0 -

Nope, cos I joined when just having a CC with them got you out of paying the fee. Changed yesterday, and doesn't apply to existing customers. Thank god.0 -

That sucks. But I hear you staff are exempt from bank charges so that must be great for some.ShelfStacker wrote: »No, if you work for HSBC you don't get any offers on FD stuff and vice versa.Kavanne

Is this only for HSBC bank accounts/credit cards? What if you go over the limit with another financial institution?
Also is there a criteria that anyone who works for the banks must have a good credit history? Or is that a myth?0
