The bank won't talk to you unless you are a customer. Tried to gain some information about exchange fees, wouldn't divulge the information unless I had an existing account. Typical of this bank, very hard to get information from them.

Yet again, 3rd time now, HSBC refuses to pay legitimate funds from my Aunt's account because THEY have decided it's a fraud. They have time to phone her up to check it's ok but unfortunately she has dementia, can't understand what they are saying and is terrified of being scammed so she won't confirm anything. I have PofA, everything is in her name, all the online checks have been made, and after an hour on the phone the fraud department wanted to transfer me to another fraud department; I hung up after another half an hour. What an absolute disgrace. I am sorry for people who are in the process of or have been defrauded because the fraudsters will be long gone by the time this excuse for a service provider gets round to doing anything. Shame on you HSBC.

Worst customer service ever. 50 minutes trying to call the fraud team and still no response. Called customer services, I was told it would take 10 minutes to get through to the fraud team, 26 minutes later, no response. Called the customer services line again, and this time told it would be a minimum of 40 minute wait, if I was lucky. What kind of bank is this? A £2000 transaction has gone missing, but I can't get through to the fraud team? I have been with HSBC for 28 years and for the last few years I have had reasons to leave this bank, but I couldn't put up with the fuss of changing, it's time consuming and exhausting, but now I am going to stay with HSBC long enough to get my complaint through to the financial ombudsman, and then leave this ridiculous sham of a bank.

Still waiting for our church funds to be released to us. You have basically stolen our money. We cannot pay bills or help local charities. Have opened an account with Nat West, lovely people, but have no money to put in. How can you possibly not know when we will get our church funds. This was all your fault in the first place, and terrible customer service. Seriously considering going to papers with this now. We are a registered charity and you have treated us like criminals.

Froze my business account without warning and refuse to tell me why. Only a relationship manager get lift the hold but mine has apparently left (never spoke to me in 6 years). Now i have to wait for a new one to be assigned but until then my business must suffer and could go under. Absolute disgrace!

Have received a letter to say my HSBC account is being closed as I’ve not supplied the requested information for the safeguarding review. I’ve already completed and posted the form three times, but the promised email never arrives to enable me to complete this. Seems they don’t want the small businesses any more.

Do not open a business account with these morons. They queried our SIC code when setting up an account for our Ltd company thereby proving they know nothing about our business. As a result we had to go through a lot of hassle at companies house and all of this resulted in a delay that costed us thousands in lost revenue. No apology. Nothing. Their call handlers are all incompetent and useless. Avoid!

Starting in mid-January 2021, I have telephoned HSBC on 4 different occasions, to request they send me a: "stamped bank letter, confirming my company holds a US$ account, and to include: account details, IBAN & SWIFT". At the end of each call I have been promised that the letter would be sent out the same day, yet nothing arrives.... As of today, my company has been given a deadline in which to produce the bank letter, yet HSBC is unable and unwilling to offer me a solution that will provide a remedy. Because of HSBC's incompetence, I fear I am about to loose a contract with an internationally renowned consultancy company, for a hospitality consultancy project in the Middle East. I suggested to the HSBC representative today that they could print, sign and then scan the letter to me - but was told this was impossible...... The only serious suggestion from HSBC, seems to be that I should raise a complaint.......... But, how will this help me, when what I need, is a letter from them, confirming I hold a bank account with HSBC, Oxford Street branch......? So frustrating!

Worse company to bank with, been on hold for hours then get transferred to some Rajesh from over side of the world. Who can’t even speak English right, not just that, Majority of them guys can’t even speak English properly. They put you on hold an then they hang up. Apparently They say they never disconnect a line. JOKES!! I’m still waiting for my dispute, been 5months. Ridicules.....

I was tempted to transfer my account to HSBC and receive £125 for doing so. I completed the application and everything went wrong. The online platform didn't work and when I called them for assistance they would not give me a workable solution that didn't involve driving over 10 miles to another town. I did not proceed

If you're looking for the most frustrating banking experience of your life, look no further. HSBC's phone and in-person representatives are polite but offer no substantial help. I have had issues for more than 6 months, called multiple times, and gone in-person to the branch and I have not had my issue resolved. All their processes are seemingly secure but actually could be streamlined to make it easier for the user and just as secure. I would tell anyone who wants a user-friendly experience, timely service, and hassle-free banking to take their service elsewhere.

Since Lockdown (March) I have been trying to communicate about my merchant services. I have been ignored by telephone, e-mail, letters through the post, letters delivered to my branch by hand. All I have received is a letter today stating that my conditions are to be changed. Changed? In my opinion they are just a piggy bank. They are outrageously bad but will survive after this crisis when small, hardworking businesses go bust - partly because of them.

Absolutely diabolical customer service! We applied for a bounce-back feeder account back in April. We were told we had to apply again because they lost all of our information. We applied again but the system duplicated my information (i suspect the information was not lost in the first place at all). The online process continues to ask for documents that are not needed because there is a spurious third applicant that is not needed. I have raised this now several times but it has still not been resolved. Each time is over an hour on hold or on the phone. There are no managers so no escalation route. Today they told me if I didn't like it that I could make a complaint. I said yes, they put me through to the business banking team who refused to raise a complaint because they have nothing to do with bounce backs. There are zero SLA's, callbacks or progress - it's ABSOLUTELY diabolical.I've never had such terrible service. Starling Bank are fantastic ... go there!

HSBC Bloody useless bank! Been waiting nearly 12 weeks for bounce back loan, chased sign-off docs, signed them three weeks ago, was told money would be in account within 48 hours, still nothing! AND that is after chasing it up upteen times, Bank Manager been on the case for last week, he's getting no-where, apparently. Anyone thinking of joining this bank should think twice, as I know lots of people leaving it! I have been with the bank for 35 years, when it was Midland Bank, since becoming HSBC, it has slowly gone down hill to an incompetent mess!

I moved all my money out today. Trying to pay online bills but taking longer than the 10minutes expiry to receive a one-time-passcode . Telephone support wanted to issue a 'passcode by post within 7 days'. I have had a series of terrible customer service interactions & I am now giving up and moving banks. NOT RECOMMENDED
