Moving accounts, what a nightmare. Reviewed on: 26th May 2017

Continued Terrible Service

1
No matter what i ask of them they never seem to be able to pull it off. Been asked twice if I wanted to upgrade account, accepted both times,was told it would be done in 5 working days. That was six months ago. I've moved twice since 2014 they still have my old address on file despite asking them to change it three times. When moving the first time asked the branch twice to send me my statements as they couldn't print them off for me in branch. Got them on the second time of asking. Reviewed on: 24th May 2017

Great service, extremely helpful

I have been a customer of hsbc for many years. The Internet banking is easy and staff in store are always helpful. When I was a victim of fraud they were extremely proactive and alerted me to it. Reviewed on: 4th May 2017

Current account

4
I opened my current account back in 1998 when it was the former Midland bank. I have always received great customer service whenever I have had a problem (which is extremely rare). I have only encountered difficulties logging in online once back in January 2016 when the system was offline over a couple of days. However, technical difficulties do occasionally happen and less so with HSBC when compared to other banks such as Natwest. I am happy with how the bank values me as a costumer and intend on banking with them for the foreseeable future. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2017

Good bank

I've been with this bank for 15 Years and never had a problem with them Reviewed on: 27th April 2017

Easy to use

4
I can always rely on HSBC for a user friendly system (mobile and online banking). They don't really have the highest interest on savings... so I would recommend going for an ISA but I would definitely recommend them for opening a normal bank account! Reviewed on: 20th April 2017

Very pleased

5
Use HSBC for savings, current account and mortgage and have been very satisfied for past 7 years great customer service and preferential offers for existing customers. Good all round. Reviewed on: 14th April 2017
