...Recently I had a problem with an overseas company whom I had been paying by Direct Debit on my credit card. I asked them to deal with it, they did very quickly and replied in writing with a satisfactory answer within days. I was impressed with the speed and accuracy. Also web site banking makes the handling of this account very easy. By using the HSBC web site you are able to make payments to your credit card account, thus doing away with the need to use the postal service and phone banking. Naturally you are also able to check out the progress of indiviual payments and the runnung balance of your account. I use a number of bank web sites and I have to say that HSBC has the best by far.

...I have had an account with them for almost a year now and I have always found it easy to use. The main gripe I would have with the site is that it can be a little slow at times, normally the times when you want to get out of a share and make a quick profit!! Apart from that it can be easy to navigate to all manner of Halifax stuff, not just shares. I already have a bank account and web saver and can check and move money to and from my share account with a few clicks. Best of all the price they quote is the price you end up getting, whether buying or selling, so when the contract note comes it normally says what it should do and the value of your trade hasn't suddenly decreased in the post....
