Great in concept but feels beta in execution
Overall setting up an account was easy, but there are some caveats to bear in mind using this. First it is an APP ONLY account. You can’t access it anywhere else. Also you cannot add the account debit card to any mobile wallet - Apple Pay, Samsung, Google etc. Given this is an app only account that seems an oversight to launch without that in place. Of course they say they’re looking in to it but I’d see that as a priority as anyone happy to run their entire business account from an app is almost certainly not a cash, card, or cheque carrier! Second if, like me, you add your middle name for full disclosure, the app addresses you always as if you have two first names! ‘Hi First Middle’… what’s that all about? You can’t change this in app either. Thirdly, in the app’s settings, your email address is listed above your username. Your username is probably going to be your email address so they will be the same thing. The email is partially hidden with asterisks - presumably for privacy, yet your username is shown in full! Surely hiding the username is of equal if not greater privacy concern? Finally, I have other HSBC accounts in my name and it would have been useful if this account/s shows up with those accounts on the website or standard HSBC app for transfer purposes, but that is not possible. As I say, overall a good idea but feels like a little under-polished.

Good business app
Fast and effective
Really happy with this app thank you.
Not many functions
Despite suggesting the ability to filter or search by customer there still isn’t that function. Also, a colleague uses another app where he can automatically send 20% of earnings to another account. I’m not really sure what I’m paying for ! Sorry HSBC !
Search facilities
Good app but not being able to search transactions is really inconvenient Monzo app is a lot more user friendly.
Nadia
Products and services are very limited: app crashes, no options for Apple Pay. Customer service is not supportive: not the staff, but the availability ie no weekends, no late hours.
Very Satisfied
This is a fantastic app and HSBC is a reliable bank. I am very pleased.
We’re always improving the app so it continues to deliver a great experience. In this release we’ve made a few updates and some changes in the background. If you love using HSBC Kinetic, please rate us in the App Store and you’ll help us grow the HSBC Kinetic community.
