Money goes in and money goes out, they don't charge me but they make momey on my money while it sits in their safekeeping. I would rather this system than paying a monthly fee and getting a tiny amount of interest unless it was in my favour. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

No benefits for loyalty

I've had the account for 25 years, it now pays no interest and the 'upgrade' to advance happened automatically, everybody else got Î£200 to switch to it. The online experience is slow and temperamental and the 'benefits' are lackluster and unimpressive. Yes i'm going to switch. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Excellent customer service

Never had a problem. Excellent customer service when I have had to contact them. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

The Helpful Bank

HSBC showed a genuine interest in me, offering various ways of helping me find the best use of my money. They showed me that they are thoughtful and make every effort to give me the very best banking experience. Thank you. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

EXCELLENT

The HSBC Advance current is excellent, an account which is free but has extras not included in their basic account. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Bank Account

The Bank is out to make profits with any customer service at all Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Just OK

I've been with HSBC for over 3 years now. Their customer service is fine. I've never had any complaints. The incentive towards royal customers like myself is zero. I was never offered anything. I will be switching to another bank which offers various deals & money for switching. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Good online

The online experience is very good. Easily manage accounts online. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

No concerns

I have never had any issues with hsbc and had useful products recommended at good rates I.e. loans and credit cards. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Not complete bastards

I've never had a particularly bad experience with HSBC but I've never had a particularly good one either. I think the best you can say of any bank is that they're not complete bastards Reviewed on: 7th November 2017
