Tremendous levels of service

4
I have had my account for a long while - and like the level of service that they give me. They seem to be a lot better than the competition for me and wouldn't think of leaving them. Reviewed on: 7th November 2014

Gets a bad rap but ok for me - love the digital offering

3
The digital offering is comprehensive and simple to use. It also helps as am on the go quite a lot. I would say that calling on the phone is sometimes a bit of a pain Reviewed on: 27th October 2014

Nice mobile app and overall pretty good

I've not had any big issue with them. I really like online and mobile banking with HSBC, feels quite easy. Sometimes feel that they send me too much paper every month, which feels a bit wasteful Reviewed on: 17th October 2014
