Review of the HSBC, Business Banking:

Phenomenally poor bank to deal with

Phenomenally poor bank to deal with with exceptionally high fees which was particularly galling. Reviewed on: 2nd April 2024

PATHETIC

ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC NON EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, NEARLY AN HOUR ON THE TELEPHONE TWICE CUT OFF AND THEN FINALLY SPOKE TO JOSH ID 45087592 WHO DECIDES TO CUT OFF OUR INTERNET BANKING A BUSINESS I HAVE RUN FOR 40 YEARS. MOVE TO STARLING OR ANYBODY ELSE GOT TO BE BETTER THAN HSBC Date of experience: 24 April 2023 Reviewed on: 24th April 2023

Used to be a bank.

Having been a customer for 10 years, I have noted the slow decline of the 'bank'. It is now no more than a banking online platform. If you have the misfortune to deal with the customer services, you will encounter apathy, lack of common sense and any effort to resolve an issue even if they are the cause of the problem. You basically do all the work and they charge you. There are better and cheaper alternatives. I closed my busine accounts and wish I had done it earlier. Reviewed on: 21st April 2023

RELIABLE CONVINIENCE

the bank is always panctual timely and condusive with their financial assistant Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Fraudsters

A national disgrace

We had been with HSBC for 20 years. However, last year they 1/ withdrew our BACS facility for no reason 2/ threatened to close all our accounts 3/ refused to help us move to another bank. Reviewed on: 10th March 2023

Shocking

DO NOT USE HSBC for business banking shocking service. Hard to get any issues resolved, very slow to respond, Reviewed on: 8th March 2023

Hang up when they don't know the answer

It's happened twice in a row now after they kept me on hold for 15 minutes. Reviewed on: 8th March 2023

Great Customer experience

Well managed, great customer relationship, easy to manage accounts Reviewed on: 1st March 2023

An unfortunate excuse for a business bank

I was introduced to HSBC to fund my franchise purchase. From the off HSBC were I’m competent - they sent my franchise loan application to the business team who then said they couldn’t assist. Eventually it was sent to the correct team but they said they required me to open a business bank account to proceed with the application. However, a nil loan value was applied to my account which meant I would have to wait over a year before being able to get a loan… the whole point in approaching HSBC was to get a loan to start the business… I ended up getting some compensation from HSBC but they wasted nearly 8 precious weeks and almost cost me my business deal… Three words to sum up my experience with HSBC: incompetent; slow; unethical.
