Advantages: Great online banking Disadvantages: Don't offer much to students
...three companies: Egg, Barclays, and HSBC (although I still keep wanting to call them Midland!). I started with Barclays, both the normal account and Barclaycard, and those two services were almost enough to put me off online banking for good! Eggs service was better, but not enough to restore my faith. I hardly ever use my HSBC account - there are three standing orders / Direct Debits coming out of it, but other than that it’s just an account I took ... ...I got a letter from HSBC complaining that a Direct Debit had been put through, and their was insufficient funds to process it. *What* I though, entering a mad panic. ‘But I put some money in for this month, what’s happened?’ I rooted around for my last statement, but realised I’d consigned it to the bin in my last tidy up. (You may not be able to guess if you saw what passes for a floor here, but I do tidy up once a month you know.) So, what could ...

HSBC INTERNET BANKING – www.hsbc.co.uk
I have decided to write this opinion, because I feel that this has been one amazing find of mine. My uncle recommended that I tried Internet banking because you can do so much with it and I thought that I would give it a try.
There are many features that the site has to offer. You can order booklets to help you with your banking and you can register to fully use the site. After you have registered you can ... ...I have two accounts and I can easily look into both of them with a simple click. All of your accounts are on one page and you can click on them to look into them into depth. This then shows your statement, but the reverse way to normal by having the most recent at the top instead of the bottom.
You can also change standing orders, direct debits and other outgoings by just saying what you want to do. It definitely saves a lot of time with no need ...

My main moan however is that over the last couple of years it has become increasingly difficult to contact my branch or to see someone in person as most branches only open a few hours a day and now even the two main branches where I live are no ... ...From the main HSBC web page you register when visiting for the first time, this takes a few minutes and it does help if you are already set up for telephone banking as you can use the same login details and passwords. Once you have entered your unique login number you are then taken to the next security screen, which asks you to verify further details. Once this is done you are taken a page showing details of your account.

Have you ever been in a situation where you need to transfer some funds or cancel a direct debit etc…and the only chance you get to do this is in your precious lunch break.

I have been a HSBC account holder for almost seven years now, wow! Having recently heard in the news that they have launched their online banking, I decided to visit their website and have a look at what they have. And was I impressed!!! I did a fast registration using my account details and a security code which has been set up for their telephone banking service (even though I did previously have to get my code changed back from the letter version ... ...command on the page fails- HSBC more attentive than Smile? Anyway, I tried logging in immediately and it worked. There they were, my current, savings and credit card accounts all on one page. You can see the balance and transactions, as well as amend your Standing Orders and Direct Debits which are all listed. I like the part where you can cease a direct debit either immediately or in a future date (Especially useful for those of you nearing the ...

As far as I have seen so far the service has nothing over the rest of the banks but has the same services and is very simple and secure to use!

Review of HSBC Online Banking
Advantages: So quick Disadvantages: Sometimes down
...have been a member on HSBC online banking for quite a while now - so long that I can't remember! Probably at least 2 years, so I must admit I'm not hot on how long it takes them to send you all your login details but as far as I remember it wasn't too long. I am also an online banking member of Barclays, Abbeys, Tesco Personal Finance, ING and Yorkshire Bank so I think I have a good view of comparing them! You need an IB (internet banking number) ... ...things to me about using HSBC as an online bank is that nearly every payment I make will come into my account of go into the other persons account instantly. This is soooo useful when transferring money inbetween two accounts. Another important factor is that I find when I request a replacement card or my card expires and I get a new one I have to set internet banking up again. An absolute joke, but with HSBC I have had loads of cards and I have ...

...been a customer of the HSBC (formerly Midland) for some time and recently signed up for their internet banking scheme. I find their site cumbersome and slow, so much so that I have reverted to the telephone to carry out my transactions. HSBC were slow in offering an on-line banking service and one would have thought that they would have managed to get it right- too date I am not impressed. I am assuming things will improve and will persevere. In ...

On the left side of the homepage there is the internet banking link - When you register you are given a 12 character ID, this is much better than a username and you can hide it away and nobody would ever guess it! Once you input this number you have two passwords to put in - the first being your date of birth (okay so this is quite easy for people to find out) and below that you have to enter ... ...yourself! Hsbc asks you for a certain combination of numbers from your passkey and it changes each time you use it - making it very hard for hackers!
Once you have input all your codes and IDS (which sounds like a time consuming exercise but in reality takes one minute) you have complete access to your bank account (or all your bank accounts with HSBC)! If you have more than one bank account then they are set up once logged in and you can click ...

HSBC have recently introduced an internet facility. Through this it is possible to access all account information such as statements, standing orders and direct debits. It is also posible to set up payments to third parties.
