Banking with HSBC

HSBC has always offered me flexibility and reliability when banking with them. Their online services means that I can bank anytime, wherever I am which is great. Their banks also still offer face to face assistance which is one thing I love ! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Easy and Friendly

Been with HSBC for 15 years now (My first bank) The staff have always been welcoming and friendly. My wife uses another bank, and the level of service and ease of use is nowhere near as good as HSBC Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Not safe! Supports scammers!

I have been a victim on a HSBC scam, and have lost 5100GBP. Unfortunately HSBC were not enough active to investigate the case, and they did not reimburse me, although HSBC signed the code of Scam prevention. The average waiting time to reach their fraud team is around 5 hours. There are security glitches in their system, which are welcomed by organized crime, but HSBC did not plan to correct. It is not safe to keep your money with them. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2021

Rare experience with any finance product

The key consideration from a finance product is that it works and does not need me to phone up anyone. This product fits my requirements. I don't have many situations where I have needed to call. The user experience could be better as its just cluttered with irrelevant options, but its much much better than other bank apps which are absolute rubbish. Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

A good bank for my parents

I have now switched to Starling but I know that my mum and dad love HSBC. They prefer to have that face to face chat and HSBC provide an excellent in store customer service. Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

Fustrating

Had several issues with HSBC. Customer service appalling Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Helpline Useless

Had a problem with the app and I was on phone for over half an hour trying to fix it. Cost me a lot in call costs, it was their fault and they wouldn't reimburse call cost. Reviewed on: 26th March 2021

Best bank ever

The secure bank account with great customer services Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Unauthorised transaction

There was unauthorised transaction on my account I raised with the bank 3 to 4 times still happening and HSBC was unable to stop it I am still having issues with them and I have to swith my bank account. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

my worst bank

I find HSBC online difficult to register, the wording and descriptions poor. the online service and help poor. Because The staff unable to answer questions and often delegate to other phones that incur more waiting time. Many of the phone staff had poor language and dialect discrepancies leading to confusion.
