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

Practical, Efficient, Responsive.

Whether online or via its app, the UI is intuitive and functional. Customer service (via online chat) responds quickly and clearly. Staff at bank branches are friendly and supportive. In my ten years with them, I've never had any significant issues. The few minor inconveniences or mistakes made by staff have been resolved quickly and to my satisfaction.

I have had my account for over three years, can't get an overdraft or even a credit card. I get bi weekly wages yet I'm turned down everytime I apply for anything. My husband switched banks and he's happier. Can't wait to leave Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
