Recently introduced a friend coming to live in uk to HSBC as a loyal customer.I would have like a small incentive for both of us as i was bringing a brand new customer to HSBC and they could have go to many competitors on the high street. Reviewed on: 11th January 2018

Awful customer service

1
extremely unhelpful, rude customer service agents who do not appear to listed to your issues but just repeat platitudes from a script. We had an issue where cash paid in at a branch "disappeared" for over 2 weeks, during which time outgoing payments were bounced and we incurred bank charges. We had to fight tooth and nail to get reimbursed, they refused to admit the error was theirs. Dreadful service. Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

Great customer care

Excellent Bank

4
Have banked with HSBC for 20+ years now and have never had a problem with them, they have always been very keen to help resolve any issues and have offered great borrowing options when needed. My only negative would be that they are behind on new technologies a little. Some of the newer online banks offer much more innovation in banking, though i appreciate these things take time to role out when you are as big as HSBC. So heres hoping we will see them soon Reviewed on: 3rd January 2018
