Easy to change details

I went into the branch to change my name after I got married. They let me know what documents I would need, and it was all done quickly and easily. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2016

Awful

awful bank to deal with. Customer service is awful and you cannot speak to anyone english. Also expensive bank charges and I just find them really useless Reviewed on: 22nd June 2016

Average day to day banking experience Reviewed on: 20th June 2016

Friendly

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

HSBC is not good

Is bad services, not good choice, night interest Reviewed on: 24th May 2016

Very good customer service

I had great customer service at HSBC until I opened a new bank account with Santander and they stopped caring for me as a customer even though I didn't want to leave them. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2016

not good!

as a 17 year old i kept getting put into minus money, then as soon as i paid it in the black, they took a fee and put me in red again this went on for months until i closed the account down never to go back! Reviewed on: 19th May 2016

Needs some work doing

It's very much "computer says yes / no" with HSBC. No personal touches at all sadly Reviewed on: 4th May 2016
