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

Easy to use app with plenty of support options and transaction history at your fingertips. Not enough done to keep up with competitors when it comes to displaying spending trends. No perks in comparison to other banks e.g. no cash back feature Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

HSBC and the cost of living

5
I've been with HSBC for a year or two now and this year especially they have been very helpful. They emailed me to say I could have a £500 interest free amount on my overdraft for a year which has really helped out considering I've been struggling to reduce my overdraft and credit card balance. It has relived some of the pressure and I think they've done a great job in offering it as a solution to combat the rise in living costs for those that are struggling Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
