The service is good. The service is good. I do not like the way they in branch business is done in public in the foyer. It feels scruffy, impersonal and not secure Reviewed on: 15th September 2025

Dont avail any of HSBC service

1
HSBC is the worst bank that I have ever come across. The credit card department is useless and hopeless. I have logged couple of complaints on 14th Aug and till now (24th Aug) no communication even if I have chased them 6-8 times with 45 mins discussion each time. Every time, I received false commitment from CC folks, their manager and next level manager as well. It such pathetic situation. DONT ever…ever. and ever go for their service .. be it credit card or account opening or anything else Reviewed on: 24th August 2018

HSBC credit card

Conducted a thorough application process to determine if the credit card (to be used for a balance transfer) was affordable before approving. Good customer experience so far. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Not too good I suppose

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
