Poor customer service and simply do not care

1
In my experience very poor customer service (basic things can take up to four times as long, often with someone on the other side of the world who doesn’t understand the system or products or can speak clearly). No interest in customer service or genuine desire to help customers with mortgage/rates in this era of increasing cost of living challenges. No in-branch support despite visiting numerous times and asking to see someone to help me get a better mortgage rate. Will be leaving HSBC as soon as I can get a mortgage wiry an alternative provider. Simply too big, hugely inefficient and no understanding of their customers which comes across in spades at every level. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

No profit on savings

I have been saving each penny but never got any interest on the amount in my account. Then why not to prefer other banks. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
