Reliable and friendly

HSBC has never let me down. Since the day I joined which was fast and easy, HSBC have helped me with any payment problems, such as when a company withdrew money without authorisation, they compensated me and opened an inquiry with the company which was speedily resolved. They have never charged me and have always gotten my details correct. They are also very helpful if I have lost my card or if I want to open new accounts or change my details or when offering advice.

My local hsbc bank has very helpful and friendly staff, this is from everything to helping me change or review my products to enabling me to use the cash deposit machine when you only need to deposit cash or cheques during busy periods when the counters are full. Can't praise them enough for all of their help over the 10 years I have banked with them. Well done hsbc. Reviewed on: 20th April 2015

Wonderful, from Personal Account to Customer Service.

An amazing bank that offers many features, well worth joining and I love being with them. Reviewed on: 20th April 2015

Great experience

Banking experience always leaves you a bad taste. From long line to inexperienced staff. I never imagine I would say this. HSBC change that perspective for me. The service was fast. I waited only 2 minutes before going to the counter compared to at least 5 minutes to other banks. The staff at the counter always greet you with smile. That made my day as well. What else can I say? That's one of the best experience in 20 years of banking. I would recommend everyone including my family to use HSBC. They're one of the best. You don't have to believe me. Go try it by yourself and come back to tell me if I'm wrong. Reviewed on: 17th April 2015

i really like hsbc, but i dont like the new changes they made to bank to bakn transfer i dont understand why we need to download the app or have a security device to make outside bank transfers. i want hsbc to change their system bank to bank trasfer back to its orginal format. i dont think its unreasonable to request desktop transferring with pcs and macs. i ope sb realzes ho ridiculous their security devices Reviewed on: 17th April 2015
