“I am just very annoyed that all the local branches have now sadly gone. Being now of a certain age having to travel to town centres is not so easy, especially in a Yorkshire winter! Our local branch was open for a great number of years and we miss it so much. Please don't mention telephone banking (its as if I speak in tongue when talking to them or when I have a request) and no, I don't want to use on-line banking.”

“Dormant account & frozen telephone banking nightmare After being an HSBC customer for 8 years, they froze my account for being inactive/dormant after a few months (I hadn't used it in a while), and also froze my telephone banking for some reason. I don't currently live in the UK, so could not go into a branch in person to "verify my identity". After calling for 6 months and repeatedly asking for a letter/code to unfreeze my telephone banking (in order to then re-open my dormant account), no letter came. When I called, the customer service agents could not confirm the address they were sending the letter to for "my security", because my telephone banking was frozen. I would later find out that they were sending the letter (WITH SECURE INFORMATION) to the wrong address. But they could not tell me this. If this sounds Kafka-esque and ridiculous and illogical, trust me, it was. I went into an HSBC US branch and begged them to call the UK bank to get my account unfrozen. After an hour on the phone, we were able to get my telephone banking unfrozen, but not my dormant account reactivated, because they have bizarre address and ID confirmation policies (what they are trying to confirm, I don't understand, because all of the addresses are easily changeable either on their website or through my other banks). No policies are consistent. None of their staff seem to know or understand their policies for basic things like unfreezing an account. I would absolutely NEVER recommend this bank to anyone. I will likely be closing my account after I get it unfrozen (it still isn't).”

“Had credit card payment declined. When I rang to query this I was kept on the phone for over 90 mins being driven in sane by annoying music and told my remaining balance was far less than what my online banking statement said. I had gone into my branch the previous week and paid of a considerable sum before my next statement was due as I knew I would exceed my credit limit if not. This showed as paid on my statement. I was told that the cheque was on hold and before they could tell me any more my phone battery died. I am livid Always pay off my balance on time and now am going to have to waste more time going into branch to sort it out (if poss)while my suppliers are having to wait for their money . Seriously considering leaving HSBC after forty years”

“WORST BANKING EVER Not only as a result of my card being cloned twice in 1 month, I had to realise this by my card declining and me having to contact them, once I had got in touch they informed me the account was locked............ why did they not get in touch rather than me have to face the embarrassment of my card declining, NOW, my little key card calculator thing stopped working, I have attempted for the past 2 days during my lunch hour only to be put on hold for so long I have had to hang up to return to work, the 2nd time they answered only for me to be told there is a lock on my account and to be put on hold again, after 40 minutes I had to hang up (the number is not FREE) I am now left being unable to access my money and will now need to spend my lunch hour travelling to a bank to sort this out as I have been put on hold for over half an hour each time,”

“Hsbc is no longer supportive of small business enterprise and it will be their downfall. From my personal experience I am pretty shocked at how impersonal they have become. Zero customer service, zero flexibility. After banking with them for nearly 20 years its such a shame to see them loose sight. Bank fines have made them far less than local. Hong Kong Shanghai Bank run by english and americans r.i.p. I was a business customer, Premier Customer and held over 5 accounts with them 20 years. In turn to meet compliance they shut my account without a courtesy call. Goodbye Hsbc... Shame that the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank is run by British And American management. Not an asian service anymore”

“After near on 40years with no problems we both were sent the safeguard forms, we filled them in sent them back to the UK, we live in Bulgaria and were contacted that they were not acceptable, telephone calls, secure messages, livechat and emails did not work for us, so we filled in the complaints form but to no avail as the documents were not acceptable but 2weeks later we had another letter to say a lady from the complaints department had reviewed our complaint and all documents were ok, also an apology. So if you have a problem and you need help contact the right department, the help is there if you need it.”

“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".”

“Terrible Bank, customer service is really non-existent from the caller centres. Service in the local branch is very good they are let good in a big way by the a caller centre. Call Centre staff are far from helpful, indeed I would say they are obstructive. I have POA on my Mother's account and I have had nothing but grief from the call centre staff. They are so bad they take it to a new level. My wife (who also has POA) was scammed by a company claim to be BT using my Mother's Visa card by bad luck we were sorting out my Mother's BT account. HSBC call centre refused to stop the payment leaving the account, I spoke to a supervisor who was as useful as Chocolate fireplace, he too refused to stop the payment even though it had not left the account. So HSBC are funding criminals by there rules. Although my Mother has banked with HSBC (Midland Bank) since 1947 I will be taking her business elsewhere, I don't want another conversation with their call centre.”

“If you want to open a bank account or you want to trust your money to the bank , stay away from HSBC . We were robbed in Europe and after reporting to them and police , 2,5 month of anxiety and waiting,HSBC Vietnam charged us 200000000 VND ( around 8500 USD)to pay for the thieves, even we have clear evidence that transactions were made illegally and they admitted it by sending us receipts with different signatures on them. Premier customers are not protected. After 2,5 month of nightmare I just sharing this to people not to be in the same situation as I was. Stay safe and stay away from HSBC .”
