Excellent service

I saw the rather incredible balance transfer credit card offer and, having had some unexpected, and unbudgeted, expenses recently, applied. I was accepted after the usual checks abd transferring my balances was simplicity itself. Being able to take a breath, knowing that I can pay these expenses off over a longer period without interest piling up has allowed me to breathe without stressing.

Im so upset. Awful awful service. Lost money

Im so upset! Do not use this bank…
I’ve been trying to transfer my isa to them from my previous provider for over 4 months! The process was so crazy and complicated - in branch visits, lost forms, incorrect forms! And now they are saying they don’t have my money even though my other provider has sent it to them!

They place you on hold and take hours to look into it with no response other than ‘go to the financial ombudsman’. They refuse to look into the issue or provide me with any update .. apparently I just have to call them back????? (And what wait another hour, just to be told to call them back??)

This is a large mount of money I’m talking about here - a full ISAs allowance. I can’t believe a bank would treat people like this when it’s your life savings. So so so upset.

Very helpful staff

The Bromley Branch of HSBC were very understanding and helpful - and certainly weren’t pushy in promoting their products.

HSBC Premier onboarding

Premier onboarding call

I had a premier onboarding call with Claire a couple of days again. The call lasted just over an hour. She was thorough, took her time to explain things to me and answered the questions that I had. She not only opened a bank account for me, she explained the benefits, arranged for me to speak to a medial advisor, sorted an overdraft and processed my application for the elite Mastercard. All in one call. Super helpful, efficient and friendly! Thank you.

The Spalding branch is brilliant. Best of all you are able to make an appointment with an actual person, face to face. Long may it continue.

Continuation of appalling service..

Please read this review with the one made yesterday on the appalling customer service HSBC offers customers with 18 years of customer loyalty.

HSBC got back to me and asked me to respond!!!!

I did instantly and you guessed it, despite providing my details including mobile, no one has got back to me!!!!!!

Staggering incompetence

Staggering incompetence does not begin to cover my experiences when dealing with this bank.
Misinformation, miscommunication, mishandling, and, I suspect, deliberate misdirection to avoid dealing with complaints about the former issues.
An employee at my local branch sent me an email that could have led to a civil tax rule breach, had I not checked with her bank head office.
The bank replied to my review here but the email address is not an official contact address for HSBC UK, and you should treat any messages or requests from it with extreme caution as a potential phishing attempt. HSBC handles customer service and public queries through secure official channels rather than general social media email aliases

I would like to share my appreciation for Amna from the Leamington Spa branch. She assisted me with depositing cash and was extremely polite, patient, and professional throughout the process. She took the time to help me and made everything very easy and straightforward. Her friendly attitude and willingness to assist created a very positive experience. Thank you, Amna, for your excellent customer service.

Helpful and friendly staff

Ivelina was extremely helpful when I had to register a LPA for my stepfather. At what was a stressful and confusing time she was helpful and reassuring.
When I visits the branch a few days later she made a point of coming over to see if everything was ok and helped me set up online banking.
A credit to the branch.
