Review of the HSBC, Bank Account:

Online service good

Only bank online now and their online service is good. Reviewed on: 4th April 2022

Easy to use app covering all my accounts with the same app Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Would recommend

I have been with them for nearly 8 years now and have found them quite helpful especially during lockdown Reviewed on: 5th March 2024

Careless and arrogant

I called HSBC bereavement team to ask about my late wife's account. The agents on the phone just didn't care. All they wanted was getting me off the phone as quickly as possible. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2024

Couldn’t access my funds to book family holiday.

Couldn’t book flights via my debit card because of a bank issue and told me to try tomorrow. By then the seata will be gone and more expensive. Told them to escalate it which they said sure, will take 2 days. Disgusting service when I can’t access my cash to pay for things. After 25 years and many issues over the years, that’s it, I’m done with this terrible bank. Reviewed on: 1st March 2024

Mobile app keeps crashing on payment approvals.

Mobile app keeps crashing on payment approvals. Low interest rates on savings. Bank branches are open a short day and not at times when I can get to one. Cash deposit machines in branch only work on perfect notes meaning neee to queue at counter to deposit cash. Reviewed on: 28th February 2024

Horrible service and horrible management.

Horrible service and horrible management. They don't know what they're doing and are a dreadful business. I worked here and can say there systems are slow and unreliable, management believe staff members are replacement so they'll keep hiring new people and stop training the old ones. This is one of the reasons why customers have issues because most of there staff members are new. They don't value staff nor do they value customers, there have been more and more complaints and they refuse to change their systems or the way they run things, staff turnover is the highest. DO NOT BANK WITH HSBC AND DO NOT WORK FOR HSBC. Reviewed on: 27th February 2024

Terrible service, always fails me.

HSBC, good but lacks options...

Overall, HSBC are a decent bank with generally quick and good customer service. The area it lacks the most is it's accounts, they aren't competitive and don't provide decent interest rates. The app is really easy to use and handy to see all your accounts in one place... Unless you've had to move elsewhere for better rates. GIA account is nice and simple and gives great options for investors of all levels. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2024

Great online support.

Great online support.Kind and skilled assistants. Reviewed on: 20th February 2024
