Seamless Transition

5
Seamless transition from a modern app based bank that I was unsatisfied with to a traditional high street bank. No issues since moving. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Ehh

Not great, not bad. Does what you expect from a bank, but nothing more. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great company

5
No issues, great for seeing all of my international accounts. Hsbc provides all the services I need. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Disappointed LONG-STANDING customer

1
Have banked with them since 2002, will be closing account soon following the political and discriminating face-mask announcement that accounts will be closed if clients don't wear masks. Client services have deteriorated significantly in recent years. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Behind the trend

2
Their app and online stuff is so far behind all other banks. Such a mission to do anything. The insurance offering isn’t very flexible. Have to choose 3 options. Maybe we just weren’t the right fit Reviewed on: 18th September 2020

HSBC - cheque

My father in law wanted to close his account and moved his moved to me for safe keeping, same surname HSBC blocked the account, which is great, but why, the cheque was to the same surname not someone else, I agree it was in case it was fake etc, anyway, now the account is blocked!
