HSBC Bank account reviews (1392)

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

Student Account

I have had a wonderful experience with HSBC’s student account. The interest free overdraft of £1000 has allowed me to get on as a student with financial peace of mind. The student credit card is good too. Online banking is excellent, and the mobile app is fabulous. Reviewed on: 17th January 2019

Branch closures!

I have been with HSBC for twenty years and have always been very pleased with them, but unfortunately my local branch has now closed and so it is with regret that I am looking for a new bank. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Great Bank Account

I have banked with HSBC over 20 years. Any issues have been resolved quickly and professionally. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Great bank account with excellent customer service

I've been with HSBC for over 20 years and I can not fault the service provided at all. My current bank account is easy to use and I am very happy, I've also had a loan and our mortgage is with them. When I was a victim of fraud a couple of years ago HSBC alerted me before I even knew about it (someone had cloned my card and was using it in America) HSBC carried out a full investigation quickly and refunded me the missing money straight away. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Excellent account with great app

The HSBC online banking app is very easy to use and has great innovative functions like paying in a cheque by taking a photo of it with your phone or tablet. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Never changed

After being with HSBC since the 80's never had any issues so no need to switch. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Simple Account

Easy online banking, overdraft facility, contactless payment card Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

Does what it is supposed to

Pretty decent bank. Nothing really to omplain of. Reviewed on: 13th January 2019

For a current account that fulfils all regular needs

HSBC Advance current account fulfils all my regular needs, handles my direct debits and standing orders, and gives me multi channel access to services, as well as polite and knowledgeable staff on hand in branch, online and on call Reviewed on: 13th January 2019
