HSBC Business Banking reviews (217)

Functional

4
I've had a business account with HSBC for a few years now. I found the face to face service to be 4/5 which drops a little when dealing with them over the phone. The online offering is ok - nothing exceptional though. Reviewed on: 31st March 2015

All works ok (with 1 exception)

4
I have my business account with HSBC. I like dealing with them, but the past pdf statements function doesn't work for me - not really sure why. Reviewed on: 9th February 2015

Absolutely shocking

1
They do nothing to help my business at all. Mo one there knows me or the business, they provide zero service and payq peanuts for interest. A total disaster. Avoid. Reviewed on: 31st January 2015

Overall Good Business Bank

4
We have a good working relationship with HSBC, no problems. Reviewed on: 17th November 2014

Always deliver what I need from them

4
They have always provided the services I've needed / helped me with whatever the business has required. Easy access as well. Reviewed on: 11th November 2014

The key thing that makes them great for me is the business relationship manager

4
I realise that this is as much a review of my business manager as HSBC, but I think finding a great business manager is probably more important than the bank itself. My business manager is always there to help me and navigate what I need from HSBC Reviewed on: 23rd October 2014

Online experience is great, but the call queue times are epic!

3
I really like the ease of the online service. BUT when you need to call them the call queue time can be pretty long. When chasing up the application I spent 35min on hold. Gave up in the end...frustrating! Reviewed on: 14th October 2014
