Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Poor customer Service

Having been left the executor of my late sister's estate, I had the task of dealing with her accounts that were held with HSBC. At the time, I was very emotional as my sister died very suddenly. I found the bereavement department to be very unhelpful and was actually brought to tears by a very young and rude female and unhelpful member of staff. I was so upset I didn't phone back for at least a month. This call was completely different. I spoke to a lovely Irish gentleman who was so helpful and understanding, a real pleasure to deal with. He knew his area of expertise perfectly and was able to help me with everything I needed and eventually sorted the accounts for me. I just takes that one person to get HSBC that negative review in the way they treated me, but also proves they have some wonderful staff who are willing to help you in your time of need. Grateful thanks to the Irish gentleman who works in the banks bereavement section. Reviewed on: 15th February 2023

Can’t complain.

Can’t complain. Front line staff could be better trained. The local branch is electronic services. No cash services anymore. I would go to a bank like Metro if it was in town. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Why are they trying to make meuse the bankingapp?.

They seem determined that I have got to have the banking app. Too fiddly. I prefer internet banking! So I now cannot get authorization for payments by credit or debit card. Supposed to send to my phone but they never come! Reviewed on: 2nd August 2024

Excellent customer service. I had a strange transaction come out of my account one day and they immediately helped me resolve the issue and get my money back. Been using them for nearly 20 years. Reviewed on: 15th June 2024

I've banked with HSBC for 10 years and for the most part found them very helpful and fair. In recent years I've noticed the customer service has gone downhill and the interest rates are not competitive. Reviewed on: 14th June 2024
