ABSOLUTELY AWFUL COMPANY WHO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT...

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL COMPANY WHO PUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT RISK! I have a business account with them and have banked with them for over 4 years, I have recently moved abroad, they have locked me out of my account twice, first time was easily unlocked within minutes, the second time - ive called up to do the same (answer my 2 security questions) but this was not possible, so after hours and hours of trying to find a solutions the only one was for me to fly home to go to the bank, but as you had locked my bank booking fligts back to the UK is basically impossible... after explaining this and just being told this was the only solutions, i was told that i could go to Madrid to the branch there as it is closer and cheaper due to inter island flights. So after having to borrow money I managed to get to Madrid as i was told i could literally go in with my passport and everything would be fine. Obviously when i have got to Madrid this is a coporate building it does not deal with actual banking facilities, so after spending an additional 4 hours on the phone and explaining that you have now left me stranded in Madrid, I have no funds to get anywhere and you are expecting me to try and get back to the UK somehow, and all you are offering me to do is raise a complaint which takes 5 working days to be dealt with. You do not seem to care this is completely HSBCs fault for misinforming me as a customer and lying to me and still giving me no resolution for this.I would NEVER EVER USE this bank and I have to some how get a flight home so I can empty and close my account as I never want to bank with you again. I have used my account a lot for business and have put a large amount of money through my account and I do not expect to be treated so badly. You have even admitted you have no customer care or empathy as when I have explained my bad medical and health conditions there is still absolutely nothing you will do or are trying to do to help. Any other bank would do an emergency transfer to my personal account for £200-500 so I could atleast book a flight home for my partner and I but am just told there is absolutely nothing you can do but make me sit on the street on Madrid for 10 days until my telephone banking launch form is actioned, so you are willing to let your customer go through that is actually outrageous! When I have been able to sort my bank out and withdraw my funds I will be looking to close my account entirely, I will also be making sure that no-one I know will use your bank and I will make sure that everyone knows about my experience and how bad HSBC is as a bank, I will be taking this story to the national papers and will also be passing all this to my solicitor for this to be taken further legally to pursue as well as you have basically agreed that you have no care for my health condition and this could actually cause me to die. All communication with you has been recorded and all your lies will be made public and see how bad of a bank and how bad you treat your customers. HSBC IS THE WORST BANK POSSIBLE AND NEVER BANK WITH THEM!!!!!!!! Reviewed on: 20th September 2024
