HSBC Premier vs Standard Chartered Priority Banking

[RIB]

I’m planning to open an account with either HSBC or Standard Chartered. The idea is to use their Global Banking services while maintaining the required balance in India.

Their offerings are similar so trying to understand which bank would be better.
Anyone from the community that has used both, please do share your wisdom about which bank would be better. Would be really appreciated.

Bump - Did you decide anything yet?

Bump again!

Also, I don't know about HSBC, but Standard Chartered Priority is anything but Priority

HSBC is damn too slow. There is no hassles, blockers, problems, glitches or anything like that. But the process is just slow.
They take their own sweet time for anything.

Not sure what the issue was... I went this afternoon to get my account opened. And Just got the email about 10 minutes back that it was done.

(The only irritating thing was that they insisted I had to go to them)
