Hopelessly bad

It's not a good experience. They can't get their app to work to save their lives. Branch services are a joke, and phone lines are unhelpful Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Not great - feels tired

HSBC are not as impressive as I had thought they were before becoming a customer. Many of their physical branches are closing down, the phone service is a bit variable, and the app is not user-friendly. Reviewed on: 21st January 2022

Excellent

Very pleased with the service i receive from my bank. The physical building is staffed by helpful, knowledgeable people, and the online process is simple and easy. Would recommend highly. Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Very good

Have been quick in responding to my queries, and very useful. The interest rates are a bit low, but so are all of the others Reviewed on: 20th January 2022

Service deteriorates each time I have to deal with them

Difficult to contact , online banking apps are clumsy and outdated , pitiful interest rates. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
