    been with them since Midland Bank days and never had a problem with the slight exception that their banking app does not like switching between wifi and 4G when signing on via fingerprint and can get itself in a muddle needing phone to be rebooted.
    also have accounts with Nationwide (for the 5% interest) and Virgin and prefer HSBC to both of them.
    The Virgin acc will be transferred when the switching offers come back but at the moment only holds £1000 for the 2% interest.
