Needs to be more face to face

Everything is done using machines in this bank. If you want to discuss you're problem there's always a really long wait. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

Helpful, easy to use

I have had two bank accounts with HSBC and at all times I have found them really helpful when I needed it, their online banking is easy to use and I have never had any issues with them. Reviewed on: 9th February 2020

so so

- really don't appreciate closing down all the branches, taking taxpayers money to save it, then sticking two fingers up at the country and bragging about relocating to Honk Kong or Wuhan. Maybe the directors should be relocated there now? Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

No Loyalty Bonuses

3
They don’t seem to offer any loyalty bonuses. You only get special deals if you are a new customer. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

All good

Good easy to use app. Easy to set up new apayees and transfer money. Current account switch bonus even better Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

Easy web and app access

4
Banks are very similar in what they offer. What sets them apart for me is the ease of use and access to my accounts. Really straightforward accedss both via their web pages and their app. Very easy to do things, can't remember the last time I had to call or find a branch. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020

BEST IN THE WORLD

HSBC changed the way I knew banking. They're the best in the whole world, not only Britain. Reviewed on: 8th February 2020
