I Trust HSBC👍
I have had to work with and use a number of departments within HSBC. I can’t fault the knowledge, professionalism, patience and attitude of every HSBC member of staff I have come across.
I have always had a positive outcome to any issue HSBC has addressed for me.
I appreciate how seriously HSBC takes the security of its customers and feel I am in very safe hands.
I also welcome the rewards offered through it’s Premier Lifestyle programme and have happily benefitted from some lovely treats.
Thank you HSBC - you look after me so well.

Good functionality in the app but I was irritated that the credit card had an upfront fee (similar cards kick in after 12 months). I questioned this when it kicked in to no avail, shortly after which an offer was introduced waiving the fee which was further irritating.

I used your switch service to switch my account to you from Lloyds. I went on the Martin Lewis site to check the terms and conditions of the switch. I complied with all of them and waited nearly 3 months for the incentive. They declined and said that the transaction dates went through the following day so therefore wasn’t entitled to it. Poor customer service moved my accounton to a better Bank.

As a member since 2000 I am impressed with the company but when I wanted to open a business account for my business recently and was not accepted , I was a bit disappointed
Other then that it’s a bank account which I have used for a few decades and it’s adequate 😊

Friendly, efficient staff
Visited Wakefield HSBC Branch today, as phone contact online yesterday was frustrating and fruitless. Lovely greeting from the lady at the reception desk. Prompt, efficient service from the lady who dealt with my issue. Lovely Branch with real people!

Applying was simple and getting the card was fine however communication once applied and accepted was not clear enough and then to make payments on the balance if you dont have their bank account is a nightmare unless you set up the direct debit at the time of application and this is where they fall down as filling in a n eform with no visibility or confirmation once submitted is really poor you just cross your fingers and hope it worned

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Claire. We’re glad to hear that you found the application process simple and easy, and that your card arrived on time.
However, we totally understand your concerns about making payments to your credit card without having a current account with us. The Direct Debit mandate form is available on our website to complete, and it sounds like you've already completed this. We send confirmation by post once your mandate has been set up.
It usually takes 10 working days to set up a Direct Debit and send the confirmation. If you haven’t received your confirmation letter, we apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. For us to investigate please can you email us on social.media.uk@hsbc.com, with the reference #4846593 as the subject and your full name and postcode and what has happened. We can check whether a communication has been sent.

Foreign currency by global transfer.
I wanted to deposit foreign currency to my Global account, but I have to use my Sterling Pounds in my other HSBC UK accounts to conduct the exchange. Even though I have the same currency in my HSBC account in Hong Kong, I can't simply make it by global transfer. It happens every time I make a global transfer.
However, I can make it between HSBC Hong Kong and HSBC Australia. For example, I buy US Dollars in HSBC Hong Kong, then I can transfer those US Dollars directly to my HSBC Australia via Global transfer function.

I am half satisfied with the service
I am half satisfied with the service, however to upgrade an account as an existing customer you need to visit a branch is totally ridiculous- given that some banks allow you to do so online. HSBC need to look into this and make the process easier for existing customers

Easy to make transfers between accounts but poor interest rates.
Easy to make transfers between accounts and to other banks. Global Money account is useful to have. However HSBC interest rates compare badly with many other banks so you do need to compare.
