Ridiculous time to replace a credit card. We needed to replace our credit card. We understood it would take four working days but after contacting them we were told it would be 10 days. If it ... Read more Reviewed on: 7th July 2024

HSBC service is the last you can call premium

I'm with HSBC for over 18years, last few years I have more then enough money on my advanced account for Premier accaount requirments, however no-one bother to offer or suggested upgrade my account. Finally this year I decided update Advance to Premier account - process was sooooo painful I can't describe - several phone cals to book appointment, 3 cals back (with dropping call in the middle of conversation by bank advisors), finally happened ! After few day I checked my account and all data was put wrongly, income, outcome . wrong DOB. I asked to transfer my credit card in to Premier - this request never was done. I had requested transfer credit card again, after few days received blank paper form with no clear instruction what to do or how to complete ... completed , sent back. Today after over week I called bank again (there is complete radio silent for bank about any progress), I been informed I need to GO to bank branch to confirm my signature ????? THIS IS BANK with "premium" bank account and service, you can buy phone and confirm your identity online or complete form for passport over internet but any simples task with HSBC you need to GO to bank branch or dealing with someone over phone - seriously ?! in 2024 ??!!

I was charging banks from Barclays premier as all of the Benefits you USED to get have gone and hsbc premier seemed like a good choice the service has been dreadful everything is sent by Royal Mail and is slow the app is so unreliable and you can never get through to talk to anyone and they are closing again so many branches it’s a nightmare worst of all they don’t care Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Avoid at every single cost

Endless fraudulent attacks on my account since opening. The last one the cashier said they couldn’t complete payment over the counter as the money hadn’t been moved from my savings. We were taking money out and had in fact transferred this. She again claimed it wasn’t. Checked my account and the money I had asked for had come up as withdrawn on my online banking. I went straight back to the bank this member of staff was on her break?? Almost two hours of waiting on the bank manager to get to the bottom of what went on and apparently the lady behind the counter had gone ahead with my request removing the money from My debit account by accident? But hadn’t given me the money. So imagine if I wasn’t on the ball or a vulnerable person and this money would have disappeared. Absolutely disgusting service. I’ve had over 6 fraudulent attacks on my account in only a year, within an hour of opening this so called safer account I had 10,000 pounds taken and sent to Dubai. Apparently and the excuse this time was the advisor left my details on screen and made the wrong transaction on the next call. What planet do these people think we are on to believe such blatant lies. Now today in trying to make a payment to my solicitor for a property, over two hours on the phone with calls cutting out from their end then to be told their voice recognition didn’t pick up my voice so they can’t make the payment. This voice system is completely floored it never picks up my voice but yet in the past they just ask additional security questions but refused today. When I first opened this account they were so far up my backside it was embarrassing, but now I’ve purchased 3 houses they seem less interested. They need to remember when I decide to sell these properties I need a bank I can trust and let me tell you now this bank is far from it. I now have to go into the branch tomorrow and take time away from what I should be doing to get this payment sent. Do yourselves a huge favour and avoid this bank and go somewhere else I will be closing my account down they’ve had far too many chances. Reviewed on: 12th January 2023
