Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

customer service excellent

Visited the branch recently for help with on-line banking registration. Customer service excellent. Asked to wait one minute as had no appointment. When shown to a desk I explained had to be in M and s to finish food shopping before lunh time. Queries all fully explained in a very timely manner. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Horribly outdated old fashioned bank

1
This bank is still running with policies and systems from the 1900s. Try and transfer an ISA in, you need to print a form and take it in to a branch (at best you might find an PDF to send, but again, it's clunky) Try and pay in anything in a branch you need to fill in an old fashioned deposit slip Reactivate a dormant account you need to fill in a PDF and submit it (no online processing). It states 2 working days processing but you'll wait weeks, perhaps months (old fashioned clunky process again) You need a tax certificate, you need to apply to have it posted or chat to someone All of the above are done a lot more efficiently by all other "High street" banks Reviewed on: 26th April 2023

AMATEUR BANK OF CLOWNS ENGAGED IN DISTURBING, ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN OF VILE ABUSE

1
I suffer from SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS, known to HSBC for many years (I have been a customer there for 20). Bank is now engaged in a PROLONGED, MALICIOUS CAMPAIGN OF ABUSE & ILLEGALITIES (involving staff members Geneen, James Tapp, Bethany Hayton). Company seems to think the law/rules don't apply to them - & they can act as they wish. My life/health has been utterly DEVASTATED by the GROSS NEGLIGENCE/INCOMPETENCE & disturbing campaign of ILLEGAL ABUSE embarked on by company & their rogue, Extremist, creepy/voyeuristic staff. I suffer from severe health problems with a HIGH LINK to SUICIDE - & have been left feeling SUICIDAL bu the persistent, prolonged ABUSE, NEGLIGENCE & ILLEGAL CONDUCT of this appalling, dishonest/unscrupulous, BLM-Terror Supporting Business Reviewed on: 24th April 2023

They owe me money from years ago , they changed me every month £20 /£25 each month for going over my overdraft 2 pence : 5 pence for years and iv just had 2 checks from them. So I phoned them and they would not tell me anything just oh we think we owed you some!?!?!?!? Money …… yes a lot more than £50 . £8 years I worked hard in that factory for the tax man / N/I/ then you HSBC £25 a month…… some lucky man / woman is sitting on a pot of gold . I’m taking this further…… Reviewed on: 17th April 2023

Fantastic,all that is needed in a bank account Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Pretty good service but online chat would be better

4
On the whole, HSBC service is satisfactory and if they make an error they make sure they resolve it. I don't always find speaking on the phone to them easy and would prefer online chat to a chatbot. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023
