Experience using hsbc

Was able to sign up hassle free compared to other banks because I’m an international student. And the app is not finicky and straightforward to use. Also, they reply to my calls in a concise and helpful manner. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024

Impersonal and slow

HSBC have a global image and might be handy if you’re international. However, I found them to be very impersonal and lacking in basic service. Their telephone colleagues don’t know what to do, and it’s a nightmare speaking to someone in my local branch (average wait 1 hour). App works alright but nothing special. I’m mostly disappointed in their ethical status and lack of value from everyday products. I’ve closed my account and will be going somewhere I’m treated as a person and not number!
