This facility with HSBC premiere allows you to manage your finances whilst leaving yours untouched in the bank account. Citigold do not provide a preset limit citigold credit card, INFACT Cwith citigold, you see no benefit in opening the account at all.

I therefore strongly recommend HSBC Premiere for excellent premiere services, investment product, better value for money and much more.
I have no idea why this one was resurrected, but since it was...

I banked with HSBC, found them to be low service, uninformed, hard selling investment products and not interested in me. Took my business to Citi and never been happier, service is outstanding, helpful, polite and a nice bunch of guys. In NYC I would definitely recommend them over HSBC.

Plus my banker took me and the wife out to a great foodie event in the city which certainly is a perk.
