I have been an HSBC customer for a number of years. Throughout that period, they have provided sterling service. I can state unequivocally that the bank has been an exemplar in the industry. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Almost always a good experience

I’ve used hsbc for years. Savings, day to day accounts and mortgages. Have always found them easy to contact, staff are generally on the ball and helpful. Never had any issues, and they’ve helped me out at times as well. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Practical, Efficient, Responsive.

Whether online or via its app, the UI is intuitive and functional. Customer service (via online chat) responds quickly and clearly. Staff at bank branches are friendly and supportive. In my ten years with them, I've never had any significant issues. The few minor inconveniences or mistakes made by staff have been resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Don't understand

I have had my account for over three years, can't get an overdraft or even a credit card. I get bi weekly wages yet I'm turned down everytime I apply for anything. My husband switched banks and he's happier. Can't wait to leave Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
