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

Don’t care about their customers

1
Huge craggy monolith with zero interest in normal customers. General disdain demonstrated over the years, but topped off with leaving me stranded 6000 miles from home with no access to cash after my wallet was stolen. (In a city with a massive HSBC presence!) customer “service” basically said tough luck. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2024
