Now up and running on Tuesday lunchtimes, we have been pleased at the number of our pupils eager to manage their pocket money.
A message from HSBC:-
We would like to make all parents/guardians aware that in order for pupils aged 11 and over to benefit fully from their accounts they are able to register to apply to access their account via internet banking. If pupils are interested in this service we shall be sending out registrations forms which should be returned to the school upon completion.
HSBC would like to reassure all involved, as long as you have your own PC protected, it is a safe, secure and valuable site:
