Worst customer experience ever! Tried to set up an account to transfer $275,000 to them and was also interested in a HELOC. I had to "apply" to be their customer and received no response for two weeks. I finally looked up their phone number online to follow up with them on my application. I was transferred five times. Each time the agent told me that it was my fault because I had obviously dialed the wrong number, when their agents were the ones that kept transferring me to those numbers. I reminded them of the basic customer service rules and one of the agents laughed at me, several spoke over me and one screamed at me and told me that she was cancelling my application. My current bank may be "boring", but I'll stay where I'm at, thank you to your really, really terrible, incompetent and non-existent customer service skills.

No money in ATM yet debits your account. Takes forever to get the money back. Daylight robbery!

I've been trying to log on yet again. I have put in my username, my password, my memorable answer, my two security questions, and my digital secure key password, but I still can't gain access and am yet again locked out. I was told two or three weeks ago that it was going to be made easier for us all; I just hope this isn't the easier log-on. I have to drive a mile away to a hole-in-the-wall machine to find out how much money I have in my account. Vicky Rose key pin,

Worst bank ever!! Have a card with them for years, when I had financial problems and I paid minimum I was ok for them because they get their interest fees,once I paid it off they cut off 50% of my credit..they showed off their true colors.

I would never put again 1 pound in this bank , i have made an international transfer and than closed my account more than a month a go . my account has been closed but no traces of my money it was about 8k !!!!! there is no way to speak with someone who can actually help you no certified email or any chance to speak on the phone with someone of your branch . If you are a expat or a traveler please choose another bank really bad service they are making me sick

Do not ever think of ever joining HSBC. I have been a member for over 20 years and after they closed the local branch I have for the last two months been asking them to sort out two problems that I have. All I do is speak to people in service centres who have not been trained for the job after waiting up to one hour on the phone.

THE BANK THAT WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE... I would give no stars if I could! I have been a business customer for 7 years. Last year HSBC started with extremely invasive questionnaires to their busines customers. I complained and was told it was a regulator requirement. This is a complete lie. They then threatened to close the account down unless I gave further info. So I withdrew all funds (over £80K!), filled out a closure of account form, and took it into branch mid-Jan. They have still not closed the account over 5 weeks later. And have continued to charge a monthly fee and have now sent a replacement credit card. I can see this is going to be a battle that will end up at the financial ombudsman. Do NOT open an account with HSBC, especially if you are a business.

Don't ever apply for a loan on line it's a joke, I received email form the bank with the title "Same helping hand..." to invite me to change my current loan rate. So I thought great that I can re applied to be turned down the percentage. I went to the my internet banking and applied online. I was waiting a much longer then 24h for response and they event did not phoned me to discussed, the underwriter Jo A....... just sent a cold message that the nothing they could do, they have to decline my application this time because I have to much under my name. I am paying all my bills without any delays even my current loan with the bank. We have joint account with my husband and we don't have any other account so everything is paid from HSBC account and should be spited for 2 as I do all finance in our family, that including most bills, phones, car insurance itp.. I was expecting a call not just a message, I did not expect this from the bank at all, this is disgusting, she writes to me as a responsible bank, it is ridiculous. I know now why they have only one star, think need to find another bank. Bank no longer treat anyone like a human, sad. Need to think about moving to other bank.

If you are ever thinking of getting any loan (personal or a mortgage) with them - please DON'T. You can speak to multiple people in this institution and each of them will tell you something different about their loan conditions! and after a certain amount of time, when you finally think you got the right answer, you submit all the information that is needed, you engage solicitors that you have to pay for, at the very end, it turns out that the information you were provided at the very end of the whole process is incorrect! And they are hardly sorry for it ! You can triple check it with them. It doesn't help either. 4 different advisors, four different stories. Do you think you can find this information on their website? NO. Do you think your mortgage advisor will know it? NO! because it depends who they are speaking to - they have a different information every time you ask. Waste of time. But this time, I am not going to leave it like that and further public is going to know about it. And an official complaint is going to be raised too. All the calls are recorded and I am not going to pay for your incompetence. I am more than happy for you to contact me asap if you'd rather avoid wider public getting to know how incompetent you are. And I would love if you could listen to how your advisors mislead your customers and waste their time and money.

We banked with them for over 15 years but now they charge charities a monthly fee for services we never use and even though there is no branch within 6 miles. I tried emailing their CEO but got the standard response "it's to improve customer service". This company made $12.7 billion [over £9.3 billion} for the first 9 months of 2021. A nice big bonus for the fat cats at the top no doubt.

One star is already too much. The time you waste just for getting in contact with them for simple enquiries is outrageous - and by phone expensive. The right they take to block your account (and with this access to YOUR money!) when they change anything on their side, is brutal and careless. The customer support is annoying and phrases like 'Oh, sorry for any inconvenience' become ridiculous and make your blood boil. Even though you have sufficient funds, your account might be blocked. User Interface and User Experience is cumbersome. Choose another bank. Would highly advise against becoming their customer!!

The HSBC is the worst bank ever, especially if you need a help from their fraud or complex team. They'll never pick up the phone even if you are the whole 6 hours on hold. If someone else would tell me this I will never believe. Unfortunately I had that luck to have the worst experience with them. My recommendation is to choose any other bank except HSBC because with them you'll be without your money and without your health (terrible, useless, treats you as a sheet without any respect 👎👎👎)

Was referred from Internet Banking to Business Banking who then referred me back to Internet banking who were still unable to help. This would be shoddy enough but the queuing times for each referral are literally hours. No-one anywhere in the circuitous chain really gives a damn about service delivery. Looking urgently into banking options

App/online security is absolutely archaic, no concern for UX. Like something from the 90s, can't even login without waiting for snail mail...

How ironic I was summonsed to their Yorkshire Branch. From InverMESS. This for being £10 overdrawn. Admittedly not the first time I wasn't a couple of quid overdrawn at end of month. (Had I known, I should never, to their credit, requested they opened a branch here, inverMESS). This when it belatedly came to my attention they had been fined hundreds of millions of U$ for facilitating Colombian & Mexican drug cartel laundering. Breaching UN arms embargos. Ditto no doubt vindictive, malicious, trade embargos too. FOR(eign)EX(change) & L(ondon) I(nter)B(ank) O(ffered) R(ate) fixing & enumerable other misdemeanours. Yet not one of their unscrupulous executives has been held to account...Rich get justice poor get the law?

We have a HSBC multi currency accounts in in the same name in the US, the UK and Singapore and they charge ridiculous amounts to transfer from one HSBC account to the other. It's taken me a total of 2 hours in a chat queue and on a voice call in parallel to try to speak to an agent with still not luck. To compare, we also have Revolut accounts in the UK and Singapore where we can transfer instantly with no fees between each other without the need to change currency. If we like to change currencies it has much better rates and you can easily speak to helpful agents if you need someone.
