HSBC Bank account reviews (1304)

OK

Online OK but delays when you try to contact by phone. Reviewed on: 15th November 2016

OK Apart From the Bank Charges

I've had an OK experience with HSBC over the years, they haven't done anything amazing but they haven't done anything terrible either. However recently I've gone above my overdraft limit a few times and incurred quite heavy charges Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

A FAIRLY GOOD SERVICE BUT ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT

pop into my local branch to ask about the latest saving rate, person said to me point blank check on-line ?????? Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Brilliant

Had a meeting with a personal adviser on the weekend - it was a meeting that i'd been putting off for some time but it was actually such a positive experience. I came out feeling like a weight had been lifted - the adviser was friendly, helpful and very reassuring. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Reasonably good service for a daily-used current account

Have banked with HSBC for many years, many different products including my current account They have always been reasonably quick to respond to any queries and have helpful advisers available on the end of the phone As someone who uses HSBC remotely (i.e. not going into a branch) I do find that their app could be better and the use of a secure key, whilst understandable, is a little tiresome Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Secure Banking

Always seems very secure no problems Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Very flexible

Internet messaging service with prompt responses; flexible overdraft; and quick response times. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

OK Bank

Not too bad as High Street banks go, I suppose. Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

always helpful and approachable

My local branches are friendly and efficient and I have always had good service Reviewed on: 14th November 2016

Painful experience with overseas transfer

It has been very painful experience about overseas transfer with HSBC Bank UK. Forget about recommending Bank to anyone I will rather request that those already associated with Bank please have a look with other options available with other more friendly Banks. Reviewed on: 4th November 2016
