Terrible service after 15+ years of being a loyal customer. Had an appointment this morning at Walthamstow branch and when I arrived at was told that they should have received a cancellation email. I received an appoint reminder instead. I was told to wait. Waited for 20 mins. Same employee said would look into my case. He did not approve papers I was told by his colleagues (customer services team) to bring. I was there for another 20 mins and in the end he said he cannot help me with my request due to the fact I Did not have the sufficient paper. He said people on phone/his HSBC colleagues don’t have a clue what they are saying (and he side more but no need to go into more detail). Request was to convert a sole account to a joint one. After 15 years and being a Premier customer this is beyond unprofessional, ridiculous and frustrating. It’s easy to change banks. So that’s what I am doing, money current, savings accounts to another bank. People need to be treated professionally and organizations need to properly evaluate their employees. I made an official complaint and I hope they learn next time (if they care). Loyalty is a not a given. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

AVOID!! Worst bank ever

1
Spoke to David Pearson today supposedly is a complaints specialist. He was rude aggressive and made personal judgement on my situation. Advising me I should managed my finances better he had no idea of my personal situation. He showed no care or compassion no empathy nothing. He came across as very rude and aggressive and when i politely asked him not to shout at me he rudely ended the call. No procedures in place to help disabled and vulnerable people. AVOID AT ALL COST!! Reviewed on: 11th April 2024

Ok for basic daily use.

I use it for basic daily use and it’s ok. I asked many times if they would update their app to make it easier to manage money and section it so outgoings are easier to manage and budget for but all I get is open a different account. As if that is a sensible solution when there are many. Staff are great in the call centre and helpful. Reviewed on: 10th April 2024
