Not too good I suppose

2
When I had an issue with my credit card some months ago, I tried to call many times and no one ever respond. Later on whenever I call just as I am about to connect to advisor the call fails. The customer service could be better. Reviewed on: 13th July 2017

Charged after explaining money troubles

I had a credit card and they said they would help me sort a payment plan after I lost my job and couldn't afford repayments, a week later they slapped penalty charges on and sent it to bailiffs who added even more Charges, putting me in further money problems Reviewed on: 15th June 2017

Excellent rates

Great Credit Card

5
No hassle, easy to manage on-line and great for every day use. Reviewed on: 11th June 2017

Solid credit card with great customer service

5
I'm very pleased with my HSBC credit card. Although there are no rewards or benefits of using it, because it is linked to my current account I can view all my finances in the app on my phone without logging in which means I can instantly see where I am financially. I've only had to call customer services a few times and each time was a pleasant experience. Reviewed on: 10th June 2017

nice card decent credit limit

4
although the actual application process was a little long winded, being via post. I got a much higher credit limit than I expected and the card was easy to use and I feel confident in the high level of security surrounding accessing my account. Reviewed on: 9th June 2017
