Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Great

Good company, happy to use their products and I have for a long time. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Good to know

Good service. So impressed to make the effort Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Awful bank, I would not have recommend to anyone.

Awful bank, I would not have recommend to anyone. They sent 2k to my partners account, we got in touch with them reporting suspicious activity on BA and asking them what the money was for. We were told twice that the transaction is all ok but bank did not tell why the money was sent. After a 4 weeks, we have put the money as a deposit for a new car and two days later this bank took the 2k back, causing my partner going into 2k overdraft. Bank contacted again - they admitted this was their fault as someone from them sent the money to the wrong account. They told us there was nothing they could do about it and told my partner he could re-pay monthly, however monthly interest would be applied. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Please avoid this bank.

I feel like most of my friends get a better experience from their banks, e.g a good chunk of money when they open their bank, reasonable credit, and overdrafts. My bank got rid of my student overdraft a year early. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Can’t complain.

Can’t complain. Front line staff could be better trained. The local branch is electronic services. No cash services anymore. I would go to a bank like Metro if it was in town. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Why are they trying to make meuse the bankingapp?.

They seem determined that I have got to have the banking app. Too fiddly. I prefer internet banking! So I now cannot get authorization for payments by credit or debit card. Supposed to send to my phone but they never come! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2024
