Customer service is non existent !

1
I opened a current account with this bank I've tried to log in to my account well over a week now with no luck I've received all the security, pin codes etc but I cannot log on now they locked my registration. The simple reason is I gave them my landline number when I should have given them my mobile and I sorted it all out over the weekend with great guys in HSBC. Now my number is blocked ... such rubbish its unbelievable in this day and age untrained staff and I'm moving to another bank ... waste of time Reviewed on: 12th June 2023

Horrendous

1
Never bother banking with this horrendous company. Their customer service is abysmal and unhelpful - they seem to read off a script and then put you on hold for ages before finding the right page to read off next. Opened an account over a month ago and still do not have access to any money or online banking, their letters say you can do this over the phone but whenever you try they tell you go into branch. My branch had permanently closed locally to me as a result of Covid so the closest one is ages away. I work full time (like most people) and therefore going into the branch is problematic for me within their opening hours and involves taking time off work, driving quite some way (and its a good job I do drive as this would be even worse) and parking. To think I was actually considering moving over business banking to them in the future - 100% will not be doing this after being on the phone for 45 minutes, their chatbot is even more useless Reviewed on: 9th June 2023

Great app

5
Really great app for banking, I find this the easiest to use of the main banks that I use. HSBC have been very easy to set up with and I feel particularly safe using their app. The application for the account flagged issues with my information with another main bank, which I had not even realised, and was particularly helpful for monitoring my safety. Reviewed on: 7th June 2023

Really helpful - if you use the app!

4
Have to open a new savings account by logging on online and not on the app. Okay great, but then when you hit a problem and try to use the chat function online you only get a robot who tells you that you need to phone or use the app. (Weird really you would have htought the same chat function could exist on the computer and on the app, especially if you need people to use both for different things). So you have to log in on the app to get help instead! Bit of a waste of time but did get the issue sorted in the end. Reviewed on: 5th June 2023
