They closed my account without giving me any reason, didn't even give me time to switch my account to other banks. Left me with no money for a few days. Couldn't pay my direct debits which effects my credit score. Worse Bank ever. They are fraudsters not a bank. They think that they are above the law. Reviewed on: 26th April 2024

Terrible service after 15+ years of being a loyal customer. Had an appointment this morning at Walthamstow branch and when I arrived at was told that they should have received a cancellation email. I received an appoint reminder instead. I was told to wait. Waited for 20 mins. Same employee said would look into my case. He did not approve papers I was told by his colleagues (customer services team) to bring. I was there for another 20 mins and in the end he said he cannot help me with my request due to the fact I Did not have the sufficient paper. He said people on phone/his HSBC colleagues don’t have a clue what they are saying (and he side more but no need to go into more detail). Request was to convert a sole account to a joint one. After 15 years and being a Premier customer this is beyond unprofessional, ridiculous and frustrating. It’s easy to change banks. So that’s what I am doing, money current, savings accounts to another bank. People need to be treated professionally and organizations need to properly evaluate their employees. I made an official complaint and I hope they learn next time (if they care). Loyalty is a not a given. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
