Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Shocking

1
Used telephone banking to change my address as I have moved. The person I spoke to was not at all clear and spoke very quietly I asked them if they would talk louder but throughout the call they spoke very quietly. They told me after about half an hour that I had not passed the security questions and that the account was locked and I would have to go into a branch of the bank to rectify. The only branch in Northampton is in the town center is closed until 19th December?? My personal account details are being sent to the old address where all the occupants will now have access to my account?? Reviewed on: 25th November 2022

A solid and reputable international bank

Hsbc has been my bank for over 17 years and they offered me assistance regarding money matters over the years. They have affordable insurance aspects that I am able to use whenever it suits me. They are easy to speak with and easy to contact. They agents are very helpful and gives you easy instructions to follow when you need guidance. When you speak on an agent on the phone, they are not judgemental with your circumstances. Hence I recommended the bank to my cousins who just arrived in UK, and we will still be able to access HSBC bank services in our birth country or any major cities around the world. Even my daughter started banking with HSBC since she was in secondary school and was doing her own transactions online. That is how easy it is to navigate the mobile banking app. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

I had a very poor experience with HSBC, when I became victim of a fraud and reported this. I was passed from departments to departments over 6 months to receive a threatening final decision letter informing me if I escalate myconcerns further I will be restricted from access to financial services across UK.

Assisted me in January in setting up a European bank transfer. Service was excellent and assistant was very patient. Also assisted me in organising a global bank account. Very thorough. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
