I am currently waiting for them to review the validity of a default that appeared on my account, but it took about 8 phone calls to independent legal advisors to find a method of contacting the correct department, as anyone I called at HSBC would outright refuse to give me the information that it is my right to receive... AFTER 15 YEARS I HAVE COME TO EXPECT NOTHING LESS FROM HSBC
They will attempt to manipulate you and discourage you from gaining any information from them, in almost every scenario you could imagine.
I recommend anyone having issues they deem legally dubious to go straight to the FCA or Financial Ombudsman for advice on how to communicate with them regarding the issue.
As I wait for HSBC to form some ebb of moral compass and respond to me , my offer on my first home and my mortgage has fallen through...

Good Service

I've never had any problems with HSBC. When moving houses they transferred the details swiftly. They were one of the early banks which had a decent app where I can control all of my finances from. The app is updated quite often and its very easy to use. Read more

The app is updated quite often and its very easy to use.
Since downloading the app a couple of years ago, I've rarely logged in to my account from my pc as I can do all I need from the app.
Would recommend.

I am a long-term customer of HSBC and always do my banking face-to-face, used to only a small branch which has excellent customer service. I was quite apprehensive to be notified that my local branch was closing however I have found the transfer of my accounts to the next nearest branch have all happened smoothly. In fact several of the staff I am familiar with have also transferred so (apart from having to travel almost twice as far) the excellent service has continued. I had a review meeting in my new branch to discuss my updated requirements and was pleased with the solutions offered.

Bond just matured

This bond has just matured. Although the max is set at £250/month, it's a useful way of saving a little in time for the new ISA year.

Should be promoted more...great way to save a little each month

This type of product is great. Highish interest rate in the current market, and allows you to save £0-£250/month for a year. Helps to slowly build up some savings!

Good service, rates could be higher though

Good service and a useful product if you have a bit of surplus cash. Rates are low, but other than that, pretty good.
