I always do my banking in the branch and the staff are always helpful and can't do enough for you. Reviewed on: 20th June 2016

Difficult and unfriendly.

I've found HSBC's online banking a nuisance to use, and I hate telephone banking. I feel like I have to run a gauntlet of unnecessary passwords and processes just to access my own money. I've also changed my name, and HSBC has refused to help me until I make an appointment with a local branch. I'm considering moving to a new bank. Reviewed on: 19th June 2016
