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!

I applied for their home mortgage online. Uploaded all required documents, including w2, etc. It's been more than 3 weeks now, and I got no emails, no phone calls, nothing from them. I was assigned to an agent Jennie M Sansano, that I found out by calling to their phone numbers. Once I was transferred to her, she just hung up on me, and when I tried to call her back, none picked up the phone. Absolutely unacceptable!

I have been a customer of HSBC for years and need to change my name I've called and live chatted as I cannot attend my branch due to health issues - both told me I have to attend branch to change my name. I was told if I directly call the branch, they may be able to arrange someone to go into the branch with my identification documents on my behalf. Not only is this completely backwards, it's also undignified. There's nothing wrong with my brain, yet they're telling me I have to ask someone to handle financial matters on my behalf. I have savings accounts, investment accounts and mortgage accounts with Barclays, Lloyds, Newcastle Building Society & Hargreaves Landsown - plus a pension and a HMRC self assessment account - all of which allowed me to change my name online or over the phone. I find HSBC's policy for this highly antiquated - especially considering it's only a surname change due to marriage. I will not longer be a customer, I am switching banks because this is appalling. It's basically discrimination. They're holding my identity hostage because I cannot visit a branch. Absolutely terrible customer service.

You would be required to attend a branch in order to open a business account, takes too long. I wanted to also open an EUR account but was told after taking a month to open the business account that I have to make another appointment to open foreign currency account and waiting times where I live are 4 weeks. So all in all it looks like it would take nearly 3 months to open an account with GBP/EUR, totally unacceptable when I found a disrupter bank that can do it in less than a day.

The worst bank in the world. I have join account with my husband. He had one problem with the card and the bank assistanttold him that he need to change it. After 3 days I received a new card on my name, not on his name. So, now I have a lots of problems because I need to change all direct debit with new details and this take time. If you need a bank account find an other one, but noT HSBC.

Today i ordered a new secure key fob As i have had it a number of years and thought maybe the battery was going After ordering it from them i was told it would take 7 working days for it to arrive When i tried to log on to my account HSBC had locked me Out and wanted me to input details on the secure key fob that was due to arrive in 7 days time Unbelievable Time to look for another bank Be Warned I also see that 84.64% of people give 1 star on hsbc I feel that no star would be more fitting

To go online on my laptop I have to get verification code from my mobile app, everyone. This is so awkward and so backward. Instructions are so confusing and so convoluted. Have to try many times before I can get in. It is absolutely disgusting.

Lousy customer service from foreign telephone staff. Now left, made a complaint and they took weeks to send a one paragraph generic reply. Avoid like the plague!

Only writing this bad review on here more publicly because it's so hard to get through to someone or some system at HSBC directly to complain. So frustrated with trying to get through on the phone - been cut-off about 12 times already either early on in the process of jumping through the billion ridiculous hoops just to get to speak to someone or while speaking to someone after waiting about 20minutes in the queue just to hear a genuine human voice. ... Would have been happy to discuss this directly with you HSBC but in spite of the many options you claim available to speak to someone it's just not that easy and I'm left feeling infuriated. Therefore, let me add my voice more publicly to warn anyone thinking of joining this useless bank to rather steer clear. If you are genuinely curious or seriously considering it, I'd recommend having a go at pulling out your own finger nails first.If you enjoy that experience, then this is the bank for you!

Quite possibly the absolute worst customer service ever. Not taking payments, 4 months to set up a direct debit, not being able to check my account for the horrendous amount of questions being asked despite providing credit card number. Then waiting for what seems like an eternity to spk to a supervisor who then everytime says cannot access the account. And top if all of, hsbc are the ones texting me and asking me to call them because they can't seem to be able to collect a direct debit payment on time... WORST BANK EVER... NEVER AGAIN

on the 4th June I wrote a cheque incorrectly for £64. It was debited to my account the following day. HSBC then put a stop on it but failed to recredit my account. the recipient nor myself have this money. I contacted India 32 minutes on phone. Tried the chat on line. went into my branch the following week with my statement showing debit. not able to help. put endless messages on line and finally sent letter to branch last week. have now been told they will sort by 18th September!! I wonder what interest they would charge me if I owed them money for over 3 months. This is poor service.

Applied for advertised personal account, took id to branch, waited and waited, nothing. Contacted call centre who just wanted me off of the phone after telling me that they needed my sort code - that has not been issued yet! After I persevered they called the branch where I took in ID and found a bit of info - ie the account is still being opened and they are waiting on one more bit of info so waiting, waiting, think I might just go elsewhere having read the reviews here whilst on hold by the HSBC call centre.

They have no regard whatsoever for their customers . Fraudsters got a hold of my account details twice , instead of cancelling my clearly compromised account , they locked me out of all forms of banking, making it impossible for me to have access to any of my accounts . Do not bank here honestly ! Go anywhere else !

Hand bag was stolen including my debit card. HSBC correctly cancelled my debt card but also accidentally cancelled my credit card = no digital access to any of my accounts. After 5 days I received my new debit card and was informed PIN number in mail. Waiting then for new pin and credit card to arrive in mail. Two weeks nothing so I call today and find out, no new PIN number was issued my existing pin remains and I could have been using new card for last 2 weeks and no credit card was ever ordered. So in my stressful time of getting my handbag stolen HSBC managed to make things worse by delaying replacement cards and PIN numbers. They just really need to get their act together or get out of consumer banking, their level of professional customer service ( or lack of) just is not acceptable in today's world.

HSBC has suspended my business account without prior notice. I wanted to make a payment for one of my suppliers and then realised that my HSBC Business acc aint working as normal, then I called HSBC and then I was tols that my account is suspended and it's under review. The worst Business customer service support centre. The Manager of the tele banking service at HSBC didnt have any information about my account, only response was, 'I cannot give any information, only info I could give is your business banking account is under review', I asked how long will it take for HSBC business team to review my acc ? the answer was ' it could take as long as it takes' Is it an answer from a Number one Bank in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a loyal customer since 2004. And the Business account service from HSBC is pathetic. I couldn't believe I'm dealing with HSBC UK business banking team. I will take the matter to the financial Ombudsman.
