Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Outstanding customer care

Visited Canary Wharf branch today with my partner who needed to open a bank account. The member of staff we dealt with could not have been more helpful. We were very pleased with the assistance we received. Reviewed on: 31st January 2015

Totally, Seriously Unhelpful

I havevan elderly housebound disabled relative who banks with HSBC. He cannot use the phone to ring out, so asked me if I could ring his bank and get them to put a new cheque book in the post to him. You would think that would be possible but 'The computer says No'. Totally unhelpful! Reviewed on: 24th July 2025

I feel my money is secure with HSBC with the use of biometrics - I particularly like the new app that has just been released. The layout is improved as is the number of actions available such as applying for new products. Some of the savings accounts have decent interest rates such as Regular Saver and Online Bonus Saver and there is a large range of investments available. On top of all that, their credit cards have a good range of offers. I find the online chat useful and can normally resolve any queries I have. Reviewed on: 5th July 2025

I made an application to HSBC UK and they asked for 3 years of address history and then went back 9 years, found on old debt and reported to Cifas that I committed a crime by not providing every address ive ever lived at in ny life from birth. Their position is, if they ask for 3 years of address history and you provide 3 years of history but had a debt from 12 years ago, youve commited a crime and intended to commit fraud, because they went and looked back further than what they asked for. Then when an adjudicator from the onbudsman office explained that they didnt follow their own terms and conditins, they ignored him from march to june. Causing my life to be on hold and me to go without an account. They purposely delayed things as long as possible because their only goal was to try and destroy my life; and they tried very hard. I would urge anyone reading this not to trust HSBC UK. My ombudsman decision can be read on the financial onbudsman service website under past cases upheld for july 2025. Im Mr. W, who was accused of commiting a crime by HSBC Uk for having a debt in the past. The debt was also literally a vodafone bill that was unpaid. Not a credit card or overdraft or anything banking related. Reviewed on: 20th June 2025
