excellent and friendly

someone always there to help,even if its due to machines and your xcard, very friendly and helpful Reviewed on: 16th February 2016

Local branch is great but move to another town and the staff are grumpy and rude

Locally staff are great, but if you go into a branch where no one knows you the staff can be rude and belligerent. Reviewed on: 16th February 2016

Helpful staff, always ready to listen

When I've had problems the bank staff have always been willing to listen and help asugh as possible this includes helping me when an item I purchased did not arrive, extending overdraft temporarily and more. Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

bad charges and no overdRFT

BAD CHARGES AND POOR SERVICE I AM NOT A FAN OF THIS BANK I HAVE 1300 A MONTH IN MY BANK BUT THEYV WONT EVEN GIVE ME 100 OVERDRAFT Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Great account

Great account and very helpful staff when applying too Reviewed on: 15th February 2016

Can't fault the service

The day to day running of my bank account is faultless, whether i am online or visiting the branch to update details or pay money in/withdraw I've not experinced a single hiccup in 22 years of banking with them. The only thing they could improve is their offers are not always as competitive as others on the market Reviewed on: 14th February 2016

Been with hsbc for 12 years, never had problems with them

I like how in comparison to other banks, when I go into the bank itself I am not touched and harassed by sales assistants. The staff have always been helpful and genuine when I have had queries. Reviewed on: 14th February 2016

Easy and professional

I have been with HSBC for around 8 years. It was very easy to sign up and they have always been helpful and professional whenever I needed anything. Reviewed on: 13th February 2016

Average!

I have a normal bank account with HSBC and have been with them many years. They provide adequate service and I've not had any issues with them at all. I find the online banking excellent, I detest the telephone so don't use that service. I recently went to pay a cheque into the bank and found my local branch has closed down, I wasn't aware this was happening. The staff in there were always really lovely but the opening hours were pretty pathetic anyway. I am not sure how I am supposed to deal with cheques now as I have had no information about the closure. My overall review would be that the service is adequate, no more or less than I would expect.
