[moviedrome]

Hey everyone,

We've just added a fantastic new offer and we hope you'll like it.

It's from HSBC and it's a current account, all you have to do to complete the offer is open a new current account with HSBC!

Features of the account are:
1. Free everyday banking – your bank account is free of charges in the UK for cheques, cash withdrawals from the HSBC network, Direct Debits, standing orders, automated bill payments and monthly statements.
2. Free 24/7 Internet Banking – Bank how you want to when you want to. You can check your balance, look at statements and pay your bills any time you want (subject to planned maintenance).
3. Free Telephone and Branch banking – if you need to speak to someone, just pop into your local branch or call us.

Hope you like it

Thanks
Richard

Can you complete the offer if you are already an HSBC customer by opening another account or do you have to be new to the bank?

[moviedrome]

Mac - I think you'd have to be new to the bank as it is their main current account we are offering

[Dedodido]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean no credit card or bank details or whatever is needed considering you're setting up an account?

The 2 problems that I can see with this are...(1) A very small percentage will ever complete an offer after a few days have passed.

(2) we keep telling people that they wont receive spam from companies so not exactly sure emailing them every time a new offer comes up will please them.

[moviedrome]

We wont be sending out a mass email just for this however we are currently putting together our first newsletter and we will include this within that.

Is this offer completely free ?
Also do you have to be 16+ or 18+ to open an account ?

Thanks

[Benizjamin]

Yes it is free..
I should read stuff properly
But do you need to be over a certain age to open an account?

after clicking on the offer and reading, it says.

[Schism]

Or maybe it just decides what type of account you get by your age?

[Benizjamin]
