Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Good services

This company is good, on the basic account you don t have to pay any fees...easy to use the app Reviewed on: 15th March 2023

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

Really responsible bank. It will call you to confirm any big cashout to prevent payment fraud. Reviewed on: 13th March 2025

Excellent reminder service

Will inform me of any direct debits coming up or due the next day, very helpful Reviewed on: 11th March 2025

Friendly staff helped my teen set up bank account

After running into problems trying to set my under-18 year old up with an HSBC My Money account online, we visited the Derby branch. The member of staff we saw was incredible. He was very friendly and put my nervous teenager at ease to the extent that my teen was happily asking questions about everything he wanted to know about the account. The staff member walked my teen through the account step by step and gave us all the time we needed, we didn't feel rushed at all. Even my teen later commented on how helpful the staff member had been. The experience left me with a very satisfied, happy teen, who now had a bank account with money in it.
