Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Current account

I opened my current account back in 1998 when it was the former Midland bank. I have always received great customer service whenever I have had a problem (which is extremely rare). I have only encountered difficulties logging in online once back in January 2016 when the system was offline over a couple of days. However, technical difficulties do occasionally happen and less so with HSBC when compared to other banks such as Natwest. I am happy with how the bank values me as a costumer and intend on banking with them for the foreseeable future. Reviewed on: 2nd May 2017

No UK call centre. A long phone call and still no resolution. Reviewed on: 27th March 2025

Excellence in Customer Engagement

HSBC has a history of innovation in banking and finance, and its size and reach make it an important player in the global financial system. Over the years, it has also focused on sustainability and corporate responsibility initiatives. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2025

Life & Health destroyed, TORTURED, driven to SUICIDE..

Life & Health destroyed, TORTURED, driven to SUICIDE & HOMELESSNESS by HSBC BANK Life & Health DESTROYED, driven to SUICIDE & homelessness & left for DEAD by deliberate, dangerous & disturbing, sick campaign of illegality, abuse & torture by HSBC Bank. My life & health have been utterly DESTROYED by a malicious, targeted/calculated campaign of extreme TORTURE, DISCRIMINATION, ILLEGALITY & ABUSE by HSBC & CEO (Colin bell - who was made fully aware of situation, yet chose to WORSEN situation). I suffer from severe health problems with a proven HIGH LINK to Suicide. Despite knowing this for many years, Hsbc went out of their way & BENT OVER BACKWARDS to BREAK THE RULES & cause as much DAMAGE, STRESS & PAIN as possible. This involved MISAPPROPRIATION of my entire life savings & then TORTURING me & my health issues for WEEKS ON END. Bank also manipulated their own complaints process (Beverly Hayton) to ensure I could not raise complaint & would be subject to their sick, LIFE DESTROYING TORTURE GAMES. HSBC & Colin bell (also outgoing/disgraced CEO Noel Quinn) could have ended this at ANY TIME; indeed, they only did so after torturing me & leaving me for dead - & after a social media campaign was mounted & they were threatened with being reported to the Police. HSBC have since admitted that they wouldn't have stolen my life savings, refused to tell me where they were & tortured me for weeks on end "if relations had been better". This is the most horrific experience imaginable - that has changed my life forever - & which I will not rest on until I have received full justice. I am now recovering after a suicide attempt. What kind of a business receives these reviews & doesn't feel need to reply?! HSBC, that's who... Reviewed on: 19th March 2025

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

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.
