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 Premier bank account reviews (83)

Happier

I've stuck with HSBC as they offer a decent service. I particularly like the speed that any telephone banking is dealt with by the premier team. This one might just be me, but my new card (about 3 months old) is already starting to fail to be read by chip n pin machines....will try to take better care of it! Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

WOW!

Card payment for AMEX card declined so long call to HSBC. Picked up relatively quickly, but then on hold while they looked into it for 12 min. Surely it's simple enough. I have money in my account and need to pay a bill I've been paying every month for the last 4 years! Apparently it could be a 1 off "a system blip!" Reviewed on: 1st November 2015

Stopped my card without clearly notifying me

I asked for a new debit card but was slow activating it, which led HSBC to cancel my previous card, before I'd activated the new one. I understand the logic around this, but surely they should be able to tell when I'd activated the new card, rather than leave me without an active card? That said, customer service on the phone was friendly even though they couldn't reactivate my card. Reviewed on: 18th October 2015

This account gives access to greater benefits.

Having recently being upgraded to the HSBC premier account i am aware of some of the benefits of the account but have benefited little myself.The main advantages being preferential rates on personal loans and regular savings accounts.I cannot fault the customer service received from HSBC and have received all documentation for the account very quickly from it being opened.

I used to have an amazing relationship manager but ...

I used to have a great experience at HSBC, but a restructuring of the branch meant my account was passed around to so many different relationship managers, I do not have a reference point anymore! Reviewed on: 15th June 2015

Still a few good benefits

There's is still a lot to like about the premier account. Yes there are a few perks like free travel insurance, but what matters most to me is the dedicated premier line which means I never have to wait too long for my call to be answered. I think HSBC should look into dedicated premier counters in branch too. Reviewed on: 12th June 2015

Friendly bank

I have been with HSDC Premier for over 5 years. Overall experience is good, probably because most of the time I just use their e-banking services. Contacting over the phone is easy, and I rarely need to go to the bank itself to sort things out personally. Reviewed on: 17th April 2015

it was great

it was good and i had a good experience Reviewed on: 9th April 2015

Standing order set-up got lost along the way

I went intro branch to hand in a standing order request form. After 2 weeks it still hadn't been set-up so I called up HSBC. They could see the scanned form, but weren't sure why it hadn't been set-up...so they did it on the phone. Solved the problem, but not something that I should have had to chase! Reviewed on: 15th December 2014

HSBC recently drastically reduced employees in Premier which now makes it nothing more than a queue jump at a counter.

You used to have a dedicated premier manager in branch who you could directly email etc. they reduced the number of these premier managers drastically and now you just have a generic Premier phone number and counter in branch. I see no advantage to have Premier anymore. Reviewed on: 18th October 2014
