Online banking on my laptop is a nightmare, I have to get a token from my mobile app every time I want to access my own bank account using my own laptop. So clumsy and totally not needed - I've got another account with Halifax, I just go in, type in my user and password and I'm in. I think HSBC are doing everything in their hands to make online banking difficult, heavy, long and terrible. This is while they're shutting down branches. Horrid way of treating customers, not to mention the nightmare for older customers who barely understand their way around a mobile and a computer.

Total nightmare, I wouldn't know where to begin with. Avoid at all costs and get your business account in any other bank.

If a negative start was an option I would have selected in. This bank has locked my business account due to a safeguarding concern, after contacting them and fidning they made a mistake they then advised it take 10 working days to be unlocked. They simply do not care that I have payroll due on Monday and many suppliers to pay in the meantime. £300-£400k a month runs through this account and they do not care that I moving the account thanks to this problem. Once again TERRIBLE bank, 40 years they have had my business account and the custoemr service team do not care that I am now leaving, bet their managers would say otherwise but they refuse to transfer you through.

Operation of what appears to be a rather spiritual system of finance in which funds debit and then take extended periods of time to re-emerge, the only explanation offered being that "they are floating". Poor communication and no effort to address issues - apart from referring you through a tedious complaints procedure which seems to end up with the blame placed on the receiving bank/company each time. Best avoided.

Appalling customer service. Called twice this morning to get a temporary block on my account removed. It was a very urgent request since I had to make payments to all my bills this month: First attempt the line got cut; second attempt was successful and they promised it would be sorted in 30 minutes. I was a very naive customer and believed that. Did not check my account trusting that it’s sorted. Checked again later in the day but it still isn’t - they are asking me to call again after spending a considerable amount of my time this morning talking to their 2 different agents. However I was not in the best condition / environment to make a call again. Therefore I would be missing making my payments on time - and this would impact my credit score for sure. I am a long time HSBC Advance customer and because of this very DISAPPOINTING service, I am definitely pulling out of HSBC and will initiate my current account to be closed as soon as I get the time in the next few days. No incentive to stay with this bank when there are more competitive banks out there anyway, with more excellent and genuinely helpful customer care team, not to mention brilliant interest rates for both current and savings accounts. Not surprised why their ratings here are low. For a big bank like HSBC, i am disgusted about their level of customer care here in the UK. Definitely a big difference in experience when I was with HSBC in the Philippines.

They use every excuse they can to not give you access to your money I have been trying for 4 months to change two signatories and get online access to an existing business account, incompetent does not even come close. Do not expect ever to see a manager they are permanently, conveniently always in meetings. An the cashier staff lie through their teeth saying the other colleague you saw must have given you the wrong information. The latest reason I can not access online banking is someone deleted me as a primary user then put me back on so the process has to start again. Never give this bank your money or your trust. I am a volunteer Treasurer I do not even get paid for putting up with this grief but they do not care. They do not care that we have over due bills and could be facing court action. They do not care that the sheer frustration of trying to get this account up and running as had me in tears on more than one occaision. HSBC Heartless, Selfish, Beyond Caring Bank. Avoid it at all costs.

Their advertising always seems to be disturbingly political in nature? They should stick to banking and not try to influence cultural values, it’s made me question several times if I actually want to remain with them. Performative ESG rankings are too insidious in their effects on company behaviour. As a local bank they are good, as a global company they are disappointingly corrupt

my OTP phone number was incorrect. I'm on my 10th phone call and still not sorted. Have spoken to about 15 different people. STAY WELL AWAY FROM THIS BANK.

Stay clear from HSBC business banking. Their security practises are flawed. I went to report a fraudulant transaction, they couldnt tell me what the transaction was and had to pass me to another team. I had allready passed telephone security at this point. During the transfer i had an automated response asking me to put in my security code??? Which i did, unsuccessfuly. My account is now locked and the team i was passed onto, say they are unable to help with this Fraud case i raised until my account is unlocked by customer services, which wont be until monday!!!! Lets hope there are not any more transactions coming in over the weekend! HSBC are a complete joke. Stay well clear.

Awful customer service. When I called to say I'd misplaced my card they asked me security questions that were difficult to answer such as what was the 9th digit on my card and what I had spent £8.90 on 3 days previous. When I tried to guess these they then said I'd failed and froze my account. My daughter then found the card whilst I was on the phone to them so I told them not to worry the cards been found. Three days later when I tried to make a payment my card wasn't working so called again. They were very unhelpful and almost rude. I offered to email a copy of my driving licence and give other details to verify who I was to which I was told they can't access emails! Asked then to speak to a manager and 1 week later I'm still waiting for a call and my account is still frozen. Very frustrating I've now not had access to my account for 2 weeks. I will never bank with them again.

New account - won't accept my username - MOBA sends me to 'forgotten username' link but after entering details next page then says 'system error'. Going back to MOBA just goes around in circles if you try to explain. Help and support just goes to MOBA - how do I speak to a human? Surely by closing most of the branches in Cornwall (and the UK I presume) the cost saving could pay to have 24 hour manned help service.

I was an HSBC customer for 7 years, never had any perks of sorts; I decided to leave the bank and close my account. Unfortunately I received two refunds to my old account, and the money.. seems to have disappeared into thin air! The retailers swear they don't have it, HSBC refuses to provide proof that they bounced it back.
