    Really wanted the HSBC RS so applied for their standard bank account on Monday…..already have a credit card with them. Said at the end of the application that it could take 10 days. Not received an email, no hard search showing on my credit file, no email or communication…..all seems a bit odd. 
    This is normal for HSBC.

    I have opened a regular saver and just paid in my second month.

    Don't know if it's still the case but HSBC were also prone to reject people from the Advance account due to income.
    This was likely some time ago? These days the advanced account is a hollow shell and doesn’t really offer anything. I’m hoping they re do their account offerings soon as they are pretty poor.
