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

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

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

I have been a customer of HSBC for over 20 years now and I have never had a problem with them, they are courteous and helpful and most importantly don't bombard me with offers I don't need.

HSBC have proved that they can have exceptional customer service. Some banks bombard you with offers and phonecalls, but with HSBC I only receive what I want to receive. I have been with them for over 20 years, and find their customer service second to none. I rarely have to ring them but when I do they are polite and helpful. I imagine being with them for another 20 years hopefully! Reviewed on: 29th August 2015
