HSBC Bank account reviews (1351)

Excellent service

I have never had a problem with HSBC, there have been a few instances were unauthorised transactions have come out of my account and they have always sorted it for me very quickly and efficiently. Their customer service reps are always very pleasant and helpful. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2019

Very poor user experience

Online banking and mobile banking are really fiddly to use with too many different passwords. To manage my money, I have phone, online and mobile banking all with different logins, passwords etc. They must be the only bank which doesn't support Android fingerprint login (unless you have one of a dozen specific phones which I don't). Last year they did a know your customer (kyc) review and despite me providing all the info requested as soon as possible, they didn't complete the review in the timescale and suspended my account for 48 hours. After 3 years of asking for only one statement for my mortgage I have given up and 12 years later I still receive 2 statements. Finally there is no counter service on Saturday morning in my local branch. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2019

i work with this bank and is good Reviewed on: 1st February 2019

Best bank ever!

One of the key things I expect as a tech savvy user is to be able to use their services on any device with minimum clicks and maximum features. HSBC have never given me a reason to complain yet. They are like the heart of a system, if it operates very well, we don't notice the heart, but even one problem and it becomes critical. Can I also add that I love that there is an option in the website to bypass the token thing. I know that's perceived as less secure, but anytime there is a transfer to an unknown payee or any change to personal details, it immediately asks for token security. This is so much better than banks who put layers of security to the point the website/app becomes unusable. Thanks HSBC, you make my life easier. Reviewed on: 31st January 2019

Great service

so helpful and friendly. I cannot praise them enough Reviewed on: 28th January 2019

Great Bank never had any problems.

I've been banking with HSBC for 15 years and in all that time I've never had a problem with them and any slight issues have always been resolved in a timely manner. Reviewed on: 27th January 2019

GREAT

GREAT. But the app could do with updating. Reviewed on: 26th January 2019

No problems but not the best rates!

I have banked with HSBC since a child. Never had any problem with them, always friendly in branch and once online banking is set up it's simple and easy to use from both phone and computer. I only haven't given it full marks as I don't think they offer as competitive rates of interest or rewards as some competitors. Reviewed on: 25th January 2019

No cash back on bills, etc

HSBC 's current bank account do not offer almost any benefits. Their credit card is very expensive Reviewed on: 25th January 2019
