1
Leaving aside the shocking savings rates they offer and the return to 1970's opening hours they make it neigh on impossible to transfer money to other organisations, every transaction I want to complete they flag as fraud and then their directly employed offshore 'payment validation ' team won't accept I am me, I know I am me and have been me for 57 years 41 of them as a HSBC customer but apparently I may not be me or I may have been coerced by me or my wife into wanting to move money from HSBC, if Dante was writing now there would be an additional circle to he'll.

Since changes to so called security with the ******* who run HSBC i can never get onto my own account and I am constantly locked out of my account. In a world where when they allow a crook to ripp off your account where you might have £500,000 in the Bank they will only give you £80,000 back when they allow it to be stolem. AVOID THIS BANK AT ALL COSTS THEY ARE OUT TO CAUSE YOU STRESS AND MONEY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive been stuck here for years until I get permission to Bank at a different BAnk....How I dont know but I hate these cheats at HSBC!!!!!1 **** **** *** *******!!!!! Reviewed on: 5th June 2022
