## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2024-03-02, version 3.42.0*

Can’t do anything without signing into the website. can’t do any operation with it. The app is useless and disappointing.

### 1/5 — Needs immediate improvement & Action!!!

*2024-01-01*

This is one of the worst bank apps if not the worst.  Functionality is very basic.  You’ll have to you use a PC to conduct most of your banking.  One other thing, this is HSBC Bahrain app and they haven’t added or at least worked on getting their banking card on Apple Pay whereas HSBC UAE has it and they are all part of HSBC Middle East.  

We really hope this is seriously looked into and I doubt anybody from HSBC will even read this review.

### 1/5 — Why is Apple Pay not yet available?

*2023-09-12*

Almost all banks in Bahrain have added the capability of adding credit & debit cards to their Apple Pay wallet except HSBC Bahrain. Apple Pay is available for HSBC UAE customers although it’s the same bank. Please add Apple Pay as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Much better banks

*2023-09-12*

The application feels like it's from the Stone Age! It is very preliminary and with extremely limited options. You always have to go back to the website to be able to finish any operation! Moreover, the bank itself is a "rip-off." No one answers their phone in the branches, and they take ages to get back to you for a simple task! What a shame! Never dealing with them again!

### 1/5 — Who’s Apple Pay not yet available?

*2023-08-31*

Almost all banks in Bahrain have added the capability of adding credit & debit cards to their Apple Pay wallet except HSBC Bahrain.  Apple Pay is available for HSBC UAE customers although it’s the same bank.  Please add Apple Pay as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Limited

*2021-11-03*

I actually prefer the old app, it had so many functions, this one is so limited and the interface is so bad, it looks like an app designed by beginners.

### 1/5 — No option to add payees

*2020-11-01, version 2.21.0*

There is no option to add payees - bit of a major flaw for a banking app. I have a list of 5 random payees from my internet banking and can’t add the others/or new ones. Seems like this has been an issue for some time from other review and it’s not been fixed.

### 1/5 — Can’t transfer money?

*2020-04-28, version 2.21.0*

Seems to be issues with the new app.... on trying to transfer money out of the account you only get 1 payee listed, even though I have a few on my online account. No option to add details for payers either.

### 2/5 — Finally

*2020-03-26*

After the first announcement almost a year 
And after the failure and the stupid old application and many thousands complaints 
I hope that be sufficient and makes everyone happy

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-07-27, version 3.22.0*

Good app - missing an international payment option

## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Very Limited

*2021-09-13*

One of the worst bank Apps in the history of Apple Store. Very very limited with only credit payment function.
