Joke of a bank!! Recently opened an account and after I eventually set up online banking after they did not send me requested information for over 2 weeks they then suspended my online banking after I had made 1 transfer. They now say I have to go into a branch to get online banking reinstated but all the HSBC branches near me have either been shut down or close at 3.30! I will go to a branch but only to do one thing and that is close the account and run away as fast as I can. Avoid this bank at ALL costs.

I attempted a transfer of $2300.00 from my Chase checking to my HSBC checking on 6/25. HSBC unilaterally closed my account (in good standing) after 20 years of being a customer because I refused to provide detailed personal financial information. No problem. I didnt like the bank anyway. However the $2300.00 that I attempted to transfer did not go into my account (because they had closed it) nor did the money get sent back to my Chase account. Today is 8/20. They tell me its not their problem. Chase concluded their investigation with proof that it was not their fault. HSBC has been dragging their feet for 2 months. I have wasted countless hours on the phone and in the branches to no avail. NEVER BANK WITH HSBC UNLESS YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR MONEY IN JEOPARDY.

They are the High Street Banking C*nts and may karma deal with their greed and lack of ethics. Evil in its purest form.

I'm only giving HSBC 1 star because the system doesn't allow for me to give them none. My brother and I have LPA for my parents. My 90 year old mother tried to take her own life after finding she can no longer look after my father because her body is closing down. She has now been diagnosed with lung cancer and is in a care home. My 88 year old father is almost blind and left at home. We are doing all we can to sort this out but are really just "firefighting" and the situation has been made worse by HSBC being so incompetent that they can't even sort out internet banking after us spending over 4 hours in their branch with them, doing everything they have asked of us. Their staff are worse than useless, their systems don't work, they have umpteen different departments sending out information within 5-7 working days and then promise that they'll act on it in 10 working days from when they receive it back. Don't put yourselves out HSBC. In the meantime how do we pay for anything? Their branches don't have telephones; not that their customers can call anyway. If you phone them you have to put shedloads of numbers into the system and when you get one wrong, (not because it was incorrect, but because they hadn't the correct number on record) the system locks you out, freezes your cards and you still haven't managed to talk to anybody. I did eventually obtain a number for the branch from a lady in India. It was the wrong number but BT told me what it had changed to and I got through to the branch. Only thing was that it wasn't the correct branch and that's when I found out their Arnold branch doesn't have a phone. They are so bad it is beyond belief. I can see from the ratings they have received that I am not alone in this sort of experience. HSBC you are pathetic.

I wish I can give them a 0 start, but unfortunately 1 is the minimum. Worse bank in the uk. I would like to know if they receive a proper training as every branch has the same unprofessional staff 👎🏻

HSBC is an immoral, vile and satanic organisation, with no shame in its double standards (google "HSBC fines"). My experience is that they irresponsibly kept increasing my credit card limit (without me asking) and allowing me to build up debts - both on that and with overdraft and loans. I irresponsibly kept spending the money. When I realised I was in trouble and needed to do something about it, they hit me with a 16% consolidation loan despite advertising loan rates as low as 3.3% at the time. I have no CCJs or bad credit. The terms of the loan have just about finished me off. They are nothing more than loan sharks with zero moral fibre. They are the "High Street Banking C***s".

Awful bank with own rules and regulations!!!! I have been HSBC customer for over 20 years. When I stoped using regularly an account they threatened me to close it. I have started to use again. Last year HSBC agreed on an informal overdraft, but while I was abroad with Charity work they closed my account and put an default. Apparently, they sent me several letters, which I could not read due to not being in UK. I regret I ever opened an account with them. I am very happy with my Barclays account.

Absolutely pathetic. Online banking you cannot log on to. HSBC should sack everyone involved with their pathetic online banking before the whole of HSBC UK goes out of business

The new HSBC dashboard is rubbish. the new design the most frustrating site I have ever seen. Was this tested before roll out? It is like it has a glitch all the time, its like a lottery if your 'click' of the mouse actually presents the correct menu, please sort out or I'm Moving banks. I cannot believe such a massive corporation has this kind of customer interface.

It's a shame they get 1 star as they don't deserve it! faceless company with no loyalty to its customers my advice is avoid or switch as your health will be affected by heartless ineptitude!

Cruel, heartless cu**s. They don't care that after a very difficult time in my life after my wife left me and took the kids and being diagnosed with PTSD, I have been getting the help from psychiatrists in order to get my life back on track. I have also been getting help with my excessive drinking and have now been sober for 6 months. The last problem now is getting my finances in order. I have asked HSBC for help and the only suggestion they would consider is speaking to stepchange. Unfortunately, stepchange think the answer is a debt management plan but 2 of my creditors have said that as they are under no obligation, they will not freeze the interest meaning that I will be making payments for the rest of my life and the debt will just keep increasing. All I wanted was to put the past issues behind me, clear my debts and improve my financial future, but the scum at HSBC think it is for the best to get further in debt and ruin my future. I am now at the end of what I can handle and thanks to the greedy ar***oles at HSBC, I started drinking heavily again last night and tried to take my own life, but I wouldn't expect that they would care.

worst customer experience trying to open a bank account. I have crossed international borders with my temporary passport without any problems but HSBC for some reason won't accept it?! all government institutions, including the British government, have accepted my passport since it is a valid, government issued passport so HSBC had no valid reason deny me a bank account. When asked what the issue is, their employee said: the tenure of your passport. However, they accept non-temporary passports that expire at the same time as my temporary passport so that obviously doesn't constitute a valid reason. Plus, after completing one of their online applications for a bank account, I waited for 3 weeks for a phone call to arrange a meeting but that never happened. then, i had to call myself and start completing the form via phone, AGAIN! so why do they even have the option of online applications if you never attend to your customers anyways?! Conclusion: horribly bureaucratic without any solid reasoning behind it.

The worst bank in the UK. Branches open inconvenient hours, appointments difficult to book, bare bones staff at branches. Staff have poor knowledge of banking. Much better banks out there. Avoid this bank if you're in the UK.

I have had quite a few problems with HSBC over the years, however I've stayed with them due to banking with them since I was a child. Numerous complaints about them from depositing one of my birthday cheques into another families bank account to asking to call me back from telephone banking on "withheld" numbers asking for my security questions etc. Not the way a bank should be. Not to mention the appalling customer service, who either cannot be understood or are unable to help in any way. My partner banks with Natwest and I have seen the light! I shall be switching banks as of Monday!
