Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Great

My experience with HSBC has been really good so far Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

HSBC has been causing me major problems

This is the worst bank I've ever used in my entire life. Absolutely rubbish.They are unable to provide bank statements, which has been causing me major problems. It's absolutely ridiculous! I not only can't have an up to date bank statement on the app on real time but they also fail to produce the monthly bank statement and there are not enough branches. Their customer service is appalling and unreliable since they never seem to be able to sort out what they are asked. I really regret having my bank account with them. My advice is: never ever have your bank account with HSBC. Reviewed on: 7th February 2024

Don’t care about their customers

Huge craggy monolith with zero interest in normal customers. General disdain demonstrated over the years, but topped off with leaving me stranded 6000 miles from home with no access to cash after my wallet was stolen. (In a city with a massive HSBC presence!) customer “service” basically said tough luck. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2024

Appalling customer service.

Appalling customer service. I applied for an HSBC Advance current account on 30th October, HSBC acknowledged my application and confirmed that they would "need to do some important checks. This may take up to 10 days". I heard nothing so I raised a formal complaint which was acknowledged with a reference on 4th December. I've since continued to receive generic, seemingly automated e-mails telling me "We are taking your concerns seriously and again, I'm really sorry for the continued delay" though the reality is I don't believe they are taking my concerns seriously and I don't believe they're sorry. This is by far the worst customer service experience I've ever received from a bank or any financial institution. At time of writing in January 2024 its now been 73 days since I applied for this current account and 38 days since I raised a formal complaint and the account is still not open and the complaint has still not been appropriately responded to.

..customer service

On December 24th 2023, I submitted an application online for a 1 year Fixed rate of 4.7 % on £10000. As of today I have made several phone calls to HSBC to ask why my application has NOT been processed, but is still pending, but have had no email, message or phone call to confirm why HSBC has not processed the account I applied for.

Smooth customer service.

Smooth customer service. App is a bit hard to read (lots of text) Reviewed on: 3rd January 2024

Very poor telephone service very good in bank serviec

The person that I spoke to for telephone banking asked 10 questions for security I answered them all correctly as they were questions about me, but the person I spoke to had a very strong accent and could not understand my English accent? And she was difficult to understand what a waste of time she said I had answered the question incorrectly I had not she just couldn't understand English what a waste of time, I had to go into the band branch to find someone who understood English.

HSBC acts as typical scammer!

HSBC acts as typical scammer! It does not allow to your money online (when confirming transaction it displays “temporary service unavailable” (read : all day), ordering payment via phone, agent confirming it, money stays on my daughter’s bank account, nothing happens, payment (urgent one) not realized! She can not use her own money for paying an invoice! Reviewed on: 12th December 2023
