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

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.
