Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Almost always a good experience

I’ve used hsbc for years. Savings, day to day accounts and mortgages. Have always found them easy to contact, staff are generally on the ball and helpful. Never had any issues, and they’ve helped me out at times as well. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

AVOID!! Worst bank ever

Spoke to David Pearson today supposedly is a complaints specialist. He was rude aggressive and made personal judgement on my situation. Advising me I should managed my finances better he had no idea of my personal situation. He showed no care or compassion no empathy nothing. He came across as very rude and aggressive and when i politely asked him not to shout at me he rudely ended the call. No procedures in place to help disabled and vulnerable people. AVOID AT ALL COST!! Reviewed on: 11th April 2024

Ok for basic daily use.

I use it for basic daily use and it’s ok. I asked many times if they would update their app to make it easier to manage money and section it so outgoings are easier to manage and budget for but all I get is open a different account. As if that is a sensible solution when there are many. Staff are great in the call centre and helpful. Reviewed on: 10th April 2024

Hsbc standards have slipped compared to previous years.

Hsbc standards have slipped compared to previous years. For example, repeated failure to correctly set up a direct debit from hsbc ac for hsbc credit card. Took months to sort out and was only able to resolve by raising as a complaint. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2024
