Unethical

Still completely unethical and involved with wildlife destroying palm-oil. SHAME ON YOU HSBC. Reviewed on: 10th February 2017

Poor customer service

Rude and unhelpful. The worst customer service of any of the banks I've been with. Reviewed on: 10th February 2017

Great Bank, Never Problems

Never had a problem, always helpful and friendly! Reviewed on: 9th February 2017

Dreadful bank, avoid

They were so unhelpful when I got made redundant during the financial crisis. I was over my overdraft limit and they wouldn't freeze the charges, so u had no possible way of getting. Back within my overdraft. Reviewed on: 9th February 2017

Not as good

Less branches open nowadays and their mobile app isn't as good as other banks around Reviewed on: 8th February 2017

Great all round bank

During my ten years with HSBC I have found the services that HSBC offer to be excellent. I recently experienced a cheque going missing in the system, this was dealt with efficiently and contact with staff was easily accessible and very professional. Reviewed on: 8th February 2017

Indian call centers!

When ringing HSBC it is very frustrating to be put through to a call center in India. I feel there would be a better connection with customers if the centers were based in the UK. Reviewed on: 8th February 2017

Absolutely useless incompetent bunch of idiots to deal with

They haven't got a clue what they offer, or how they offer it. I called them after having technical issues when trying to open a savings account online and was rudely told that you can't open them online. I had to explain two times that their website clearly has the option of opening it online and was then told maybe it does, but said if you have issues you'll have to come into a branch - what is the point of online banking??
