I have been with HSBC for some years now and I remain delighted with them. I am bedridden so all my banking needs have to be met online. HSBC is always available and on the odd occasion that I've needed to phone them, their customer service team is beyond reproach. They are patient, knowledgeable and deal with queries quickly and efficiently. I can't fault HSBC in any way. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023
