HSBC Bank account reviews (1308)

Excellent Advance Bank Account

I have been with HSBC for approximately 15 years and have never had any problems with them. The staff in store and on the phone are always helpful and polite and with the automated systems in most banks this makes everyday tasks easy. Reviewed on: 24th November 2015

Everything you need for day-to-day

I've had my HSBC account for 2 years now, for everyday use it's fantastic, very pleased with all the contact I've had with staff too Reviewed on: 22nd November 2015

I'd probably recommend a more ethical bank to my family.

It's OK however I am looking to switch to a more ethical bank soon. That said I was allowed quite a large overdraft for a number of years without them reducing it or taking it off me, so that is a definite positive as it allowed me to pay off my debts as and when I could. They were also surprisingly decent when I was unemployed for a period of time, I was terrified they would take my overdraft away but it stayed. My current local staff are not the friendliest but the staff in Newcastle are great, and its a really large branch so it never gets overly busy. All in all though I'm a bit uneasy about some of HSBC's practices across the world, so once my overdraft is fully paid off I'll will look to move. Reviewed on: 20th November 2015

Friendly bank, brilliant staff.

I have had a current account with HSBC for over 12 years and I can honestly say I have never had a problem. Every issue I have every had regarding bank charges, even late payments as my employer payed me late was resolved with little fuss. The staff are amazing, would never contemplate moving.

there have been two occurrences where money has gone missing from my account when it shouldn't have done. when I told HSBC they were very quick about paying the money back to me until they had resolved the problem. Reviewed on: 6th November 2015
