Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Outstanding customer care

Visited Canary Wharf branch today with my partner who needed to open a bank account. The member of staff we dealt with could not have been more helpful. We were very pleased with the assistance we received. Reviewed on: 31st January 2015

Check and confirm everything

Generally ok, but had a negative experience when getting my mortgage. Was told to sign up for an account with a monthly fee and it would reduce the mortgage payment. That sounded good. Agreed. Made payments. Later had chance to review all the finance while sorting out house and wondered where the discount was. Went in to find out and was told no discount. Complained and was basically told tough, not getting monthly payments refunded, can't prove it was misrepresented. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2025
