Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Impersonal and slow

2
HSBC have a global image and might be handy if you’re international. However, I found them to be very impersonal and lacking in basic service. Their telephone colleagues don’t know what to do, and it’s a nightmare speaking to someone in my local branch (average wait 1 hour). App works alright but nothing special. I’m mostly disappointed in their ethical status and lack of value from everyday products. I’ve closed my account and will be going somewhere I’m treated as a person and not number!

East access to cash via ATM

Easy to access money and I find their online assistance helpful when I have used them. Reviewed on: 16th February 2024

No interest on my current account is poor to be fair .

No interest on my current account is poor to be fair . However, 4% on the Online Bonus saver is good - Think they need to higher the 50k top limit though if they want to compete with Chase ! Reviewed on: 16th February 2024

Its tough being a good bank - HSBC do it

best bank around. despite being an oldie, they still do the job! There is more to being a bank than the challengers think they can get away with. Reviewed on: 15th February 2024

They dont care.

1
Me and my partner had a joint account together for bills. They locked it out without notice and barred all payments. They asked very invasive questions about who else we banked with. (None of there business) before unlocking the account. Tired to ask why they asked these questions and they said it was for security but it was marketing questions which they would not know the answer to. Very unhappy customer.

HSBC has been causing me major problems

1
This is the worst bank I've ever used in my entire life. Absolutely rubbish.They are unable to provide bank statements, which has been causing me major problems. It's absolutely ridiculous! I not only can't have an up to date bank statement on the app on real time but they also fail to produce the monthly bank statement and there are not enough branches. Their customer service is appalling and unreliable since they never seem to be able to sort out what they are asked. I really regret having my bank account with them. My advice is: never ever have your bank account with HSBC. Reviewed on: 7th February 2024
