This outfit (from Worthing branch) is persistently chasing us for a payment to a company we purchased goods from. Our payment was made by BACS before Christmas and within the permitted time scale. We keep getting letters demanding monies with the usual threats but have written with full details explaining payment has already been made. They have not replied but have now resorted to telephoning with the same demands. They promised to investigate and ring back today but haven't done so. In 50 years of trading we have never experienced such ineptness. Don't go near them for ANYTHING!

Tried calling their help line. Seems it is in Asia. Complete waste of time. Difficult to understand what they are saying and seem pretty clueless anyway. Will need to visit local bank to try and get some sense it seems.

If only there was NO STAR!!!! Shocking Bank. My wife & I went in to borrow on our property that would leave a 75% equity & mortgage paid up in 3 years......but NO! Too risky... Turned out the girl had put in completely the wrong information & after telling us she needed to adjust our information & do yet another credit search we lost it & walked out. No mobile number, no direct email, always off & utterly unprofessional. Not not go Near East Grinstead or Oxted branches.

Never had such an awful experience. Called the abroad customer service number. I am speechless, hence the short review. They are AWFUL.

I have about a dozen credit cards, all in good standing, I never had a bad banking experience until I got HSBC last year. Since then it has been nothing but bad experiences. I simply used my card, which was enough for them to repeatedly freeze it. They tell me to call in about the "suspicious" purchases. When I call in they asked me to answer some questions to verify my identity, I answer all the quetions correctly; Then they tell me to provide them my "access code" so I dug through some year-old paperwork and gave it to them; Then they tell me to email them a copy of my drivers license and a current electric bill, I do that too. Now they insist that I go to one of their branches to show my ID to a bank teller...their nearest branch is 60 miles away (120 miles round trip). There is no end to the amount of your time they are willing to waste. There are lots of credit card companies, you don't want to apply for their card, it's not worth it. They are inept, disrepectful, and their horrible customer service is well documented on sites like this...they have a TERRIBLE reputation across all customer-review platforms. Avoid HSBC as if your credit rating depends on it.

HSBC are Scammers, Liars and Thieves!!! I applied for a loan for a car and based on the misinformation given by HSBC, I ended up losing the car I had, the car I wanted, I was forced into spending almost all of my money on public tansport expenses and had to cancel several meetings with friends and family for Christmas. My car, my money and my Christmas has been stolen from these thieves and the world should know what this company is all about. And this is what you get when you've been with the bank for nearly 15 years and have never had a blimp for them to complain about. DO NOT open an account with HSBC if you are thinking about it and move somewhere else if you are already with them. Don't wait for them to put you through what I have been through. Don't wait for HSBC to fix your problem, go straight to the Financial Ombudsman as you'll be wasting your time waiting for them to even call you let alone look into your problem.  Share this with friends and families and on all your social media platforms and tell them to stay away from HSBC!!!

Have had so many problems with this bank. - I had to get three replacement cards in a row because none of them would work, and the process of doing so was absurdly complicated, confusing and time-consuming - They require a ridiculous amount of information for 'security reasons' to merely log into my account (the digital secure key is so tedious) - I just got locked out of my account after generating a key to add my email address to my account. Had enough, moving to Barclays tomorrow.

Extremely shocking customer service. The telephone representative was very rude and didn't want to help me at all. He was very sarcastic when I asked questions and simply told me to go to my bank instead as he couldn't be asked to deal with the call! All I needed to know was the date for our first mortgage payment! SIMPLE REALLY!... STAY AWAY! Absolute shocking experience.

We are a business customer and I so wish we weren't! 1) Their online banking service is archaic and has the functionality of a fridge. 2) Telephone banking is OK but lengthy - hence the 1 star! 3) But MOST annoying is the level of detailed PERSONAL info they need from you for 'SAFEGUARDING' your account ie. protecting it from fraud. Do we look a day old? We've been customers for 6 years - so if what they say is true, for the past 6 years we have been exposed to all sorts of potential fraud scams and goodness knows what! The level of personal info they NEED could not possibly all be required to safeguard our account from fraud, but WOW what a great collection of insights they now have about us - we could have refused but they CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT DOWN if you DO! If I had the time I would have changed banks, but with regret we have passed on everything and are now deeply suspicious of their motives and ethics.

I've now been on hold for over 2 hours this morning trying to get through to HSBC Fraud team. What a joke this bank is. Note to head office, employ more staff!!

Customer service is absolutely shocking. An appalling level of incompetence. Do not deal with this organisation!! I spent 50 minutes reporting a scam. Afterwhich, I was advised that the payment could not be stopped, however, the money would be recovered & a fraud investigation undertaken. 3 weeks later no money has been credited & customer services have no record of the original conversation. Just spent another 50 minutes on hold waiting for a transfer to the fraud dept. Now advised that there is no record of the original conversation, despite calls being recorded for 'training purposes'. Requested to speak to a manager, only to be put on hold again. Now in the process of switching both personal & business accounts to another supplier due to the total incompetence of the staff within HSBC.

I had an account and after 3 years I was asked to reconfirm loads of information, some of which was quite complicated. They wrote to say my account was going to be closed if I didn’t fill it in so I was ok with that and it was closed. I still had money in the account and I spoke to several people on the phone after wasting my time of hold, they said I would receive a cheque for the remaining balance in my account. I have been chasing this many times and not received anything. I have just called again and been told I need to go into the branch to request it in a different way that sounded complicated. She then put me on hold and then cut off the phone. Beware!

Since becoming a business owner and taking out a business loan with HSBC I’ve been left high and dry! I just CANNOT get to speak with someone from my bank face to face . They’ve got my loan and monthly repayments and want nothing more to do with me and didn’t even bother to tell my my bank manager had left and weren’t thinking of replacing him any time soon! I took time out of my business to go into branch to find this out , was promised his senior would ring to talk to me and guess what ........ they haven’t bothered !! I am sick of their appalling customer relations - actually there isn’t one !!

Ive opened bank acounts the world over...HSBC UK is without doubt the worst banking experience i have had ever. 'Safeguard' means they want you to send personally identifiable financial information via mail most of which is none of their business. If you dont comply they lock all of your accounts. Despite having given the legally required information at least three times. Meanwhile your credit cards all work yet paying them back within the app is all blocked so they can accumulate fees and interest. Their app and online services are apalling. Its time the regulator did something about this bucket shop.

I would advise not to waste your time. HSBC provide the WORST service for business and its not a joke almost a year later and still same issues and awful processes. Save your self the hassle and stress especially if you have a family to run and a business and do many other things - HSBC will only be a stress for you!
