Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

The most unhelpful bank I have ever had the displeasure of communicating with.

This bank has no provision for more elderly customers who need a little help to run their accounts. Whilst my father was extremely ill he was forced to read out numbers from his debit card and answer questions even though he had answered all security questions and asked for me to assist him. After his death, we have had to contact this shambles of a bank on numerous occasions to finalise his affairs. Whilst having cause to contact customer services having been locked out of her online account, they make no provision for her difficultyin hearing and although she answered security questions and asked for me to be able to continue to explain what the problem was we were refused. All the internet helpline did was pass us back to customer services. If you like wasting your time speaking to people who have no desire to help and are reading from a script then open an account with HSBC. If you have better ways to spend your time avoid them at all costs. Rude, unhelpful and impersonal. Reviewed on: 19th January 2015

A solid and reputable international bank

Hsbc has been my bank for over 17 years and they offered me assistance regarding money matters over the years. They have affordable insurance aspects that I am able to use whenever it suits me. They are easy to speak with and easy to contact. They agents are very helpful and gives you easy instructions to follow when you need guidance. When you speak on an agent on the phone, they are not judgemental with your circumstances. Hence I recommended the bank to my cousins who just arrived in UK, and we will still be able to access HSBC bank services in our birth country or any major cities around the world. Even my daughter started banking with HSBC since she was in secondary school and was doing her own transactions online. That is how easy it is to navigate the mobile banking app. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

I had a very poor experience with HSBC, when I became victim of a fraud and reported this. I was passed from departments to departments over 6 months to receive a threatening final decision letter informing me if I escalate myconcerns further I will be restricted from access to financial services across UK.
