Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Shocking

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

Moved here from barclays

Moved here from Barclays after a fraud dispute. Find the app for depositing cheques hard to use sometimes Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

This really is the listening bank!

I have been with HSBC for some years now and I remain delighted with them. I am bedridden so all my banking needs have to be met online. HSBC is always available and on the odd occasion that I've needed to phone them, their customer service team is beyond reproach. They are patient, knowledgeable and deal with queries quickly and efficiently. I can't fault HSBC in any way. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Does what it says on the tin

HSBC seems to offer great deals to new customers, but not so much for existing customers Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Best Bank in UK

I have been with this bank for over 18 years, never disappointed, I am very happy with their service Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

Poor customer Service

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

Overall good service

I have been an HSBC customer for many years. In general I have had a positive experience. I find there App very convenient and easy to use being able to check by bank balance and transfer money easily. I don't go into the branch much but when I do always able to sort out what I am wanting. Only negative is they still send me paper copies of things which I find unessary.
