Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

great if you don't need actual teller service.

The on-line banking is great , really easy to use. However if you go into the bank , someone heads you towards the machines always. The actual peopled cashier points are hidden away around the corner and they don't seem to like anyone using them. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Horribly outdated old fashioned bank

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

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

HSBC

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

Hsbc

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

Pretty good service but online chat would be better

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

Hsbc premier bank account

Customer service for hsbc bank account is much better than my experience with other banks. Never had to wait too long on the phone and the people dealt with were always helpful and knew how to gandle the issues I raised. Their app is pretty comprehensive and easy to use and very customer friendly the way it is set out. Reviewed on: 11th April 2023

Just what I want from my Bank
