I went to HSBC because I lost my card, and I met a beautiful customer service agent, Linda Newron, who welcomed me and helped how to get new card in the post, taught me how to use the new system cash machine because I am illiterate, I really appreciate her a lot. In addition, she helped me in the past when my son passed away and did account closure. She’s very highly experienced and amazing person. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2025

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. HSBC: what do you have to say for yourselves?

Absolutely Horrendous Treatment of a Loyal Customer!

I have been an HSBC customer for several years, with both a mortgage and credit card. I have never missed a payment to HSBC or any lender, and my credit rating is excellent (AAA). Despite this, I am still waiting for a decision on my remortgage application, which is now jeopardising my upcoming house move scheduled for the end of the month. The application was submitted at the start of December, and while I acknowledge my situation is slightly more complex (I recently changed jobs and have a limited company employing my wife), I have provided all requested documents, including employment details, bank statements, and proof of earnings. Some of the requests felt excessive, bordering on an invasion of privacy, but I complied fully. My frustration lies not with the due diligence process, but with the complete lack of communication or progress. Despite countless follow-ups, I am still in the dark, with no decision or timeline in sight. Even a decline would be preferable at this point, as it would allow me to explore other lenders. Instead, I am stuck in limbo, with my property purchase now at serious risk. This treatment of loyal customers is unacceptable, and I would strongly advise anyone considering HSBC for their mortgage needs to think twice. Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

Good bank and amazing staff and great customer service Reviewed on: 14th January 2025

HSBC is very reliable.

HSBC is very reliable. They always keep in touch with their customers and ensure they are safe at all times. They help to recover lost or stolen funds. I appreciate their kindness and service . I feel very safe banking with them. Reviewed on: 13th January 2025

Worst banking experienced in have ever had

Basic thing like doing a transfer they are unable to do in promised time. They still use fax technology in order to do telegraphic transfers. Staff have no idea how long it takes and you get different information from every person and department you talk to. Compounded by the fact they are being sued by ASIC for failing their obligations many times, I would recommend staying away from this bank Reviewed on: 20th December 2024

I have often received good customer service at my local branch every week. Reviewed on: 3rd December 2024
