They should improve their services .

Their services are inefficient. The system is complicated. They should improve their services by simplifying their procedure. However, the officers are friendly and helpful. Reviewed on: 5th November 2015

HIGHLY AVERAGE

not overly impressed with the service, other banks offer a better service Reviewed on: 3rd November 2015

Haven't had a problem for well over 10 years

I've been with them for over 10 years and have never had a problem. They've blocked large online payments before but I'd rather they do that in case my details ever get stolen! Reviewed on: 14th September 2015

Happy with this bank account

5
Have been with this bank since they were called Midland Bank. Never had any reason to want to change Reviewed on: 30th August 2015

One of the best banks with best services. Been a happy customer for 15 years!

HSBC has long since been a bank that has put it's customers satisfaction first. I say this because they will often waver fees just with a simple phone call. They also don't slap on huge fines because you go a few quid over your overdraft. They also occasionally call me to see if everything is ok and that I'm satisfied with their services as bank. Definitely one of the better banks out there, would recommend. Reviewed on: 30th August 2015
