HSBC Fast Balance app

How are people getting on with this?

https://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/ways-to-bank/mobile?wt.ac=HBEU_mobile_hero

I've just downloaded it and set up my accounts.
It's not the fastest process as you have to add all your necessary account details, but no complaints on the interface - easy to use and as quick as it can be under the circumstances.

So far I am liking it though, it finally gives you the option to give your accounts nicknames, and as I have 3No with HSBC I've found this very useful.

Let me know if you notice any bugs/issues etc.

Thanks all.

    I'd love to try it but unfortunately, like every other company, HSBC are dragging their heals in creating the Android version.

    Just got a text message today that the Android version is available from today. I've downloaded it and it seems to be working well.

    Yep mine took a couple of goes after an error on a couple of steps, but refreshing it worked.

    Looks good.

    The registration process is quite lengthy but I suppose you only need to do it once.

    I'm sure this is still very much v1.0 software and there will be more features to come along eventually. It would be nice to be able to add credit cards, do balance transfers and pay bills.

    Still, it's a useful app for doing a quick balance check without having to faff on with the SecureKey thing.

    About time! I've downloaded it and didn't find it that lengthy to log in. It's perfect and all I need for a quick check to see what has cleared in last couple of days and what my available balance is. I'm very happy with it.

    If you're still using "HSBC Fast Balance", you may want to look at "HSBC Mobile Banking" instead. It's a fuller app that lets you make payments, transfers, etc.
    Credit card balance and transactions are also shown.
