Leaking your information dreadful customer service

The worst bank in the UK. I wish i could give them 0 stars but there is no such option! their customer service tells you they will sort something out for you when they dont. I am almost sure they are leaking some information to third parties. Bunch of scammers. I had an unrecognised transaction of 100£ on my card and I was 100% sure I did not give my details to anyone. I have ordered a new card and asked to dispute the transaction. Normally every transaction even the ones that dont go through are taken from your card for 5 days as “pending”, however this scammer one went through straight ahead. When I wanted to sort it out they asked me for my approval of them sharing my card details with some third parties! I replied later on and they told me it will take 17 weeks for them to dispute the transaction because they are busy!! The card that has arrived has the exact same 16 digit card number as the scammed one, the only sifference is the expiry date and the CVV. These few numbers are very easy to hack! When I keep contacting them again they are saying that they will connect me to the agent whenever they get free as they are very busy and they are not replying for a few days since then no matter how many times I am trying to contact them! I am surprised the government is still letting them to remain open! And when I tried to buy a phone from CEX they blocked my card completely despite of the fact that I have approved the transaction on mobile banking! They are acting like they are super safe but they are leaking information without your knowledge! Reviewed on: 20th April 2022

Dreadful

HSBC is basically a fully automated bank. The low paid, off shored and inexperienced customer service employees they do have care as little as the algorithms running it. Avoid at all cosrs. Reviewed on: 6th April 2022

Worst customer service

After 20 years with HSBC as a Premier customer, I am refused a small loan. Worst customer service in the world. Now got the load elsewhere within minutes, I will be moving my account to another bank. their loss, if they can't treat loyal customers well, they will loose my custom! I would recommend avoid HSBC!!!!!! Reviewed on: 5th April 2022
