Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Poor customer Service

1
Having been left the executor of my late sister's estate, I had the task of dealing with her accounts that were held with HSBC. At the time, I was very emotional as my sister died very suddenly. I found the bereavement department to be very unhelpful and was actually brought to tears by a very young and rude female and unhelpful member of staff. I was so upset I didn't phone back for at least a month. This call was completely different. I spoke to a lovely Irish gentleman who was so helpful and understanding, a real pleasure to deal with. He knew his area of expertise perfectly and was able to help me with everything I needed and eventually sorted the accounts for me. I just takes that one person to get HSBC that negative review in the way they treated me, but also proves they have some wonderful staff who are willing to help you in your time of need. Grateful thanks to the Irish gentleman who works in the banks bereavement section. Reviewed on: 15th February 2023

I bank locally in one of the few banks our small town Cardigan, Ceredigion has been graced by. I particularly want to complement Harry. Helpful. Polite. Considerate. Knowledgeable. Thank you HSBC for staying local and thank you for Harry for working with each of your individual customers. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023
