Very poor customer service.

HSBC NORTHAMPTON TOWN TELEPHONE BANKING
Very poor customer service on the phone.
Terrible experience today my 83 year old husband was not allowed to use his security number as first of all he said he could find it.
We had to go to the bank last week and change the number,
This operator for hsbc has told him he can us the number and has to go to the bank again so we cant transfer out money,
this made my husband very stressed and we cant go to the bank as our car is in the garage.

Premier Account opening - secure and easy process

Easy to book an appointment via the helpline, tele account opening meant the whole process could be completed from home , knowledgeable customer service staff all made the process pretty smooth. And of course, the premier account as a product is just perfect for our financial services need.

We have made an investment with HSBC

We have made an investment with HSBC. The staff, in particular Kevin Gunn and Shelly Brown were very helpful. Kevin Gunn set up the Investment portfolio and spent time explaining the various investment options available and his recommendations. Everything was made very clear to us before proceeding.

Porting a mortgage made easy

We were porting a mortgage and had tried to complete this ourselves online. We came across a variety of issues that we couldn't resolve, therefore contacted HSBC direct. On one occasion, Ethan was to take our call and from then on, we dealt with him, by choice directly - both over the phone and via e-mail. We explained what we needed, he clarified why we couldn't do it online and then organised a mortgage meeting with us, knowing exactly what it was we were trying to achieve - port the mortgage, reduce the term, change employment details and not take on any more insurances at this time. Ethan's help and advice was fantastic, he made sure the process was quick and painless and the mortgage offer was in place within the hour at no extra charge to us. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Ethan @HSBC again when we come out of our fixed term rate or want to increase our borrowing.

HSBC Bereavement Team

Having dealt with local HSBC Northfield branch where all staff were very professional and polite dealing with my late Father's bank accounts, I was very disappointed with the service from bereavement team. There communication was poor and eventually had to raise a complaint due to lengthy delays in sorting the accounts out. I will say that ironically the complaint communication was excellent and did result in getting some compensation
