Best bank out there

4
HSBC is the best bank on the high street. The customer service is brilliant and they have always helped me and sorted any problems I have. I have been accepted by HSBC For products where other banks have turned me down. I’m very happy and have recommended them to my partner who is changing banks. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Helpful when you contact them

4
If you need help they are there, but are less pro-active in contacting you. I don't think I've has a financial review in over 10 years or longer. Quick to resolve issues when they know about them. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Excellent

I have banked with HSBC for years and found them extremely helpful from arranging a loan, negotiating an overdraft, applying for a mortgage and just generally banking. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Not the most efficient bank...

1
Lacks the urgency of a business that wants to keep one's custom. Needs to improve its systems and also have a decent customer service line - or access to someone in a branch! Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Excellent, trustworthy bank

5
Always safely look after your money. Great online banking - you can read statements from years ago, very clear. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Hsbc advance current account

4
The biggest benefit I feel is the customer service I receive when using telephone banking for queries, seem to get through very quickly and issues always resolved efficiently with excellent customer service Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Great Day to Day Banking

4
Excellent online services although can be a little robotic to deal with over the phone. All in all, I would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

Reliable

My HSBC bank account is fee free and easy to use. I pay all my direct debits from this account every month and have always had friendly staff assistance when needed. Reviewed on: 6th November 2017

OK

Need more staff within branches to deal with queues Reviewed on: 6th November 2017
