HSBC Malta has just launched a brand new experience designed to change how personal bank accounts are opened in Gozo and Malta.

The experience can start online, meaning prospective customers can apply at whatever time of day or night that suits them, the bank said.

It explained that when opening a bank account, the talk among family and friends has often mentioned lots of paperwork, cumbersome forms, long waiting times and lists of questions.

“Now it is possible to open an account, receive a personalised debit card and access your internet banking following a short welcome meeting and signing just once,” the bank said.

It went on to explain that a simple online application enables images of documents to be sent directly to the bank without having to queue up in a branch.

The bank then does all the work behind the scenes to meet compliance standards, before applicants are invited for a short welcome meeting in a branch.

HSBC Malta added that for customers opening a Premier account, this also comes with free travel cover and the whole world of rewards of the HSBC Premier World Mastercard.HSBC Advance account holders receive free travel insurance and all the rewards that come with the HSBC Advance Visa Platinum card. Customers eligible for a regular account enjoy free internet banking and mobile banking.
