Guru’s Wrap-Up
A good offer from HSBC for those who have not had an account the last two years approximately. Account can be opened online and all requirements can also be fulfilled in the same way. That’s important nowadays since you should be self isolating. I have heard that there have been some instances of delays in paying out of the bonuses, but it is still a good offer. Just make sure to complete requirements in time and keep an eye for the bonus.
