HSBC vs Natwest

Hi everyone,

I want to open a student bank account but I am stuck between HSBC and Natwest. Can anyone who banks with either of these two tell me about their experiences with them? Thanks!

I am with HSBC but there is a reason. HSBC is a Chinese based bank and international bank, I travel/live in Asia and different parts of the world regularly and find myself having to change currencies quite a lot. Also HSBC recognised in Singapore so is easy to use there. NatWest is a UK based bank but don't really know much about it. HSBC does have tiers of credit cards also e.g. HSBC platinum or premier card so if you think you gonna be a big spender in the future may want to build up like a relationship with a bank

Either will be fine. Just choose the one that you prefer based on the incentives they are offering and the overdraft amount.
