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.
