Helpful staff, like the bonuses

5
I went in to make a payment, and a member of staff came out of the back and seeing a huge queue came over to see if she could help. Went out of her way for me. She also mentioned that they have started a rewards scheme, which I've now signed up for. Reviewed on: 12th November 2017

OK as long as you don't ever go overdrawn

Being with the bank years and having a decent salary going in every month month means nothing to HSBC if you need an overdraft. If you've had the misfortune of not having a perfect credit score then HSBC refuse to assist Reviewed on: 11th November 2017

When all the local banks close where do you go to pay cash in? This was before they allowed it at the post office

Finacial difficulty , suggestion take out another loan, no help with stopping over draft fees , adding more and more fees onto the current debt Reviewed on: 11th November 2017
