Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Not very user friendly

I have banked with HSBC for decades. It is extremely difficult to speak to customer services. The chat is very limited in topics and even after requesting a call back it didn't happen. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Life & Health destroyed, TORTURED, driven to SUICIDE...

Life & Health destroyed, TORTURED, driven to SUICIDE & HOMELESSNESS by HSBC BANK Life & Health DESTROYED, driven to SUICIDE & homelessness & left for DEAD by VERY deliberate, dangerous & disturbing, sick campaign of illegality, abuse & torture by HSBC Bank. My life & health have been utterly DESTROYED by a malicious, targeted/calculated campaign of extreme TORTURE, DISCRIMINATION, ILLEGALITY & ABUSE by HSBC & CEO (who was made fully aware of situation, yet chose to WORSEN situation). I suffer from severe health problems with a proven HIGH LINK to Suicide. Despite knowing this for many years, Hsbc went out of their way & BENT OVER BACKWARDS to BREAK THE RULES & cause as much DAMAGE, STRESS & PAIN as possible. This involved MISAPPROPRIATION of my entire life savings & then TORTURING me & my health issues for WEEKS ON END. Bank also manipulated their own complaints process to ensure I could not raise complaint & would be subject to their sick, LIFE DESTROYING TORTURE GAMES. HSBC could have ended this at ANY TIME; indeed, they only did so after torturing me & leaving me for dead - & after a social media campaign was mounted & they were threatened with being reported to the Police. HSBC have since admitted that they wouldn't have stolen my life savings, refused to tell me where they were & tortured me for weeks on end "if relations had been better". This is the most horrific experience imaginable - that has changed my life forever - & which I will not rest on until I have received full justice. What kind of business treats vulnerable people this way & doesn't see reviews like this as a problem? HSBC thats who. Staff involved included Colin Bell, Beverly Hayton, Geneen Smith, James from Specialist Banking, Haz, Laura, Shanti, Kay, Hauwa, Danielle & more. Reviews will increase if HSBC persist this DELIBERATE, ILLEGAL, TERROR & DESTRUCTION OF LIFE & HEALTH - regardless of how many fake reviews HSBC is arranging to try & cover up their MAJOR CRIMES & HATEFUL EXTREMISM Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

Lovely staff

Very helpful and patient and explained all alternatives Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

Would recommend

Good customer service, competitive interest rates Reviewed on: 21st April 2025

Great service

Always had good customer service (granted as a premier customer) with prompt replies to emails as well. Decent interest offered on regular saver and on investments actually as well, at least versus other managed portfolios. Reviewed on: 17th April 2025

To much incompetence.

To much incompetence.Very bad experience Reviewed on: 17th April 2025

Refuse to bank with Chinese Bank

I closed my account since it became a Chinese owned bank. As a world hostile nation I am protesting with my feet and showing no support for them. I'm a man of principle and refuse to support bullies. Reviewed on: 16th April 2025

Accountable, smooth and transparent

It’s alright

Been with HSBC for a few years, they are reliable but interest rates on savings aren’t the best. Customer service is not great, with them passing off problems. However, app is functional and easy to use, and the in-app customer service system is good. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025
