Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

View on product page

ONE star is too much!!

terrible. even closing the account was an absolute nightmare. to start, when i opened the account, it was a bait and swtich. lovely intro savings rate that very quickly plummeted into something ridiculously not worth it. i opened this account so i'd have a back up when i travel overseas. before i leave, i call and make sure that i will be able to use the card overseas. i was in thailand and i lost my first atm card and tried to use this one. lo and behold it never worked. i had to finish the rest of my trip with $60 in my pocket. so when i get back home i transfer all the money out and try to close the account. but they wont close it because they need me to change my address to close it. which takes xxx days. i file a complaint. which was never to be on file. i call to inquire about my recent calls, which were never on file. finally, after still not being able to close the account, i get a charge for not having enough funds, because i transferred everything out, to close the account, because hsbc sucks. in the end i finally (hopefully) officially closed the account after totally losing my cool, yelling at the customer service rep on the phone, and demanding that the fee be removed and the accounts be closed once and for all, with written confirmation of all the actions. hsbc is crap.
