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

Cannot fault them

I have always and continue to have good experiences with HSBC. I have banked with them since I was 16 and over the years, whatever query I've had, they've been very prompt with their responses and always very helpful. Staff in the branch are particularly friendly and knowledgable, regardless of what branch I go to. I recommend them frequently to friends and family. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Really pleased when i switched over to them. Everything ran smoothly. Brilliant customer service. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Consistently good

I've been a customer for over 15 years and HSBC have always had an easy-to-use internet banking system and responsive customer service if I ever needed help with anything. They've also never tried the hard-sell on me with any of their other products, which I appreciate. Reviewed on: 8th November 2018
