Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Very helpful staff who go out of their way to help you (Kendal branch).

4
I travel a lot for work and I've often run into problems that HSBC has helped me out with. I once had my debit card stolen and it was difficult to get a replacement while I was abroad. However, the helpful staff at Kendal branch enabled me to get a new card promptly, and they also suggested making my mother a signatory to my account so that she can authorise such processes in the future should a similar situation arise. They really were very helpful! Reviewed on: 2nd January 2016

Friendly and approachable.

I'm quite new to banking and sorting out my finances but when I go into branch, the staff are always friendly and helpful which puts me at ease. Reviewed on: 19th November 2017

I went in to make a payment, and a member of staff came out of the back and seeing a huge queue came over to see if she could help. Went out of her way for me. She also mentioned that they have started a rewards scheme, which I've now signed up for. Reviewed on: 12th November 2017
