Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Awful customer service

extremely unhelpful, rude customer service agents who do not appear to listed to your issues but just repeat platitudes from a script. We had an issue where cash paid in at a branch "disappeared" for over 2 weeks, during which time outgoing payments were bounced and we incurred bank charges. We had to fight tooth and nail to get reimbursed, they refused to admit the error was theirs. Dreadful service. Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

Excellence in Customer Engagement

HSBC has a history of innovation in banking and finance, and its size and reach make it an important player in the global financial system. Over the years, it has also focused on sustainability and corporate responsibility initiatives. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2025

Life & Health destroyed, TORTURED, driven to SUICIDE..

Life & Health destroyed, TORTURED, driven to SUICIDE & HOMELESSNESS by HSBC BANK Life & Health DESTROYED, driven to SUICIDE & homelessness & left for DEAD by deliberate, dangerous & disturbing, sick campaign of illegality, abuse & torture by HSBC Bank. My life & health have been utterly DESTROYED by a malicious, targeted/calculated campaign of extreme TORTURE, DISCRIMINATION, ILLEGALITY & ABUSE by HSBC & CEO (Colin bell - who was made fully aware of situation, yet chose to WORSEN situation). I suffer from severe health problems with a proven HIGH LINK to Suicide. Despite knowing this for many years, Hsbc went out of their way & BENT OVER BACKWARDS to BREAK THE RULES & cause as much DAMAGE, STRESS & PAIN as possible. This involved MISAPPROPRIATION of my entire life savings & then TORTURING me & my health issues for WEEKS ON END. Bank also manipulated their own complaints process (Beverly Hayton) to ensure I could not raise complaint & would be subject to their sick, LIFE DESTROYING TORTURE GAMES. HSBC & Colin bell (also outgoing/disgraced CEO Noel Quinn) could have ended this at ANY TIME; indeed, they only did so after torturing me & leaving me for dead - & after a social media campaign was mounted & they were threatened with being reported to the Police. HSBC have since admitted that they wouldn't have stolen my life savings, refused to tell me where they were & tortured me for weeks on end "if relations had been better". This is the most horrific experience imaginable - that has changed my life forever - & which I will not rest on until I have received full justice. I am now recovering after a suicide attempt. What kind of a business receives these reviews & doesn't feel need to reply?! HSBC, that's who... Reviewed on: 19th March 2025

Horrifying Experience with HSBC.

Horrifying Experience with HSBC. This is one of the worst banks imaginable; staff are rude, unprofessional, arrogant & smug. My wife had an account with them too & has also been treated horrifically. There is something seriously wrong with this bank & the people who work there. Your money is NOT safe here - I cannot warn anyone strongly enough against opening an account with HSBC Bank anywhere - you will regret it, they are just awful Reviewed on: 19th March 2025
