Financial Freedom

The main thing about the Business Account I have had for the past 6 years with HSBC is that they have given me freedom to get on with my business while being available in the background for help and advice. Reviewed on: 18th November 2017

Reassuringly easy

I have banked with HSBC since it was the Midland Bank, so it made perfect sense to open my business account with them. Great products, seamless process and excellent staff. Plus, they still have branches on the high street. Reviewed on: 7th November 2017

Easy to deal with

I had to report fraud recently and HSBC were good at dealing with it...did take a while to get through to them though. Reviewed on: 22nd October 2017

awful service

1
Tried to open business account. Someone called me up to ask me to call them back. Tried to call back waiting 20mins and still no one answered the phone. Sent an email asking for soneone to call me and no one did. Then they closed my application. Reviewed on: 17th May 2017

Not customer focused - do things on their own time

2
It took about 3 weeks to open an account. I had to chase 4 times for this to happen. The staff are responsive enough, but you need to chase them to do things if they have not done it in the time they promised. I just want to open the account and then will have very little dealings with the staff, just a shame they add almost no value to the process at all. Reviewed on: 16th May 2017

Poor

1
Don't really have a relationship with my relationship manager, they never keep in touch re: the account Reviewed on: 21st March 2017

Love the app

4
The business banking app on my phone is great, however they could offer more 1-2-1- business planning meetings for me Reviewed on: 21st March 2017
