“There are 2 fab workers there who are made to look bad by the inefficient bank. Another worker is rude and dismissive... the pin I got don't work with my card. Compared to other banks their service is poor... I wish I stayed with my previous bank.”

“Don't really know where to start but today (again) I had encounter with a senior hsbc staff (yes a senior) and I felt insulated, can't believe the manner I was been spoken to, really negative attitude and unprofessional tone. After 15 years with HSBC I simply felt humiliated. This bank seems in disarray ever since I joined. I can't see them getting any better, In process of switching over to another bank where I can be treated as a customer.”

“The new HSBC dashboard is rubbish. the new design the most frustrating site I have ever seen. Was this tested before roll out? It is like it has a glitch all the time, its like a lottery if your 'click' of the mouse actually presents the correct menu, please sort out or I'm Moving banks. I cannot believe such a massive corporation has this kind of customer interface.”

“You will lost a lot of money for the bank fee, very expensive, don't open account with this HSBC, for the business account if you don't have 15000 USA Dollars in the bank, the bank will take 30 usa dollars by monthly fee, to close the account, you must pay 80 usa dollars, to return a wire, they charge 50 usa dollars and more, everything need pay, this is the most expensive bank in my life. Open my account just for 6 years with around 4200 usa dollars only for the bank fee. Poor bank, never open account again in the future.”

“We have been business banking customers with HSBC for almost 30 years. Recently we have had problems with their internet banking and customer service is disgusting. No one answers the 'phone at a national or branch level. We have become so annoyed at this lack of service that we are now exploring transferring our accounts to an alternative provider.”

“The implementation of the HSBC anti-fraud 'Safeguard' process is awful. Communication is near non-existent. If you are running a business with international customers, banking with HSBC is probably the biggest to your business you didn't know you had. Effectively once you 'qualify' for the process, you are on a hard line in the sand to account closure. If they are able to actually progress your case, they may get round to lifting that threat, but under no circumstances will they actually confirm status! For us, its reached 30 days to limits: no payments in (getting paid), no payments out (paying bills). There has been no HSBC initiated communication despite many calls, letters and complaints. Left unchecked, this would kill a business. Simply, HSBC are forcing out customers with no real explanation. Business customers in this case should not think 'it will be all right'. I did for a while. As 30 days approached I was left with no choice but to switch bank. Its a little ironic, HSBC were the bank that gave me a startup account some years back, now a successful SME with worldwide customers, they turn their bank, #thanksforthat All banks seem to get terrible reviews, however, I think HSBC takes the cake with this safeguard nonsense. Now I multi-bank, so as never *ever* to be reliant on a single bank again”

“Spent over an hour waiting for someone to answer my call, and when I DID eventually get a person to deal with my issue it's normally someone from another country with an accent that you cannot understand. This has happened to me every time I have tried to contact HSBC, which has been many years. HSBC recently froze my account because I didn't return the safeguard form that they requested from me, so I decided it's time to transfer my business to my other bank. It takes a big effort for me to make this change because of the consequences. it took over a month for the transfer even though I was told it would take 7days. This caused all my standing orders to be unpaid causing other problems.”

“I have managed to lock my business online security pass more than a month ago since then I have - reset the password and tried to upload the form online but the system was not working - spend 1h with HSBC customer service on the phone to find out that I have to bring the form to a bank office because there is an issue with the online system - send the form via post to a head office address given by the customer service - no info for 2 weeks - two weeks later spent 1h in HSBC branch between a person in the bank and on the phone with the online banking person to find out that instead of restarting my online banking you have reset my digital key and needed a new form - a form was submitted - 10 days later nothing received - spend 1h on the phone to find out that the form expired and nobody contacted me at all to let me know why, when - again I have to submit a new form online to ask to reset my e-banking - the system is not allowing me to upload the form due to security issues - another hour on the phone…. - still nothing working I cannot solve the situation and my business is suffering to not have a banking for the last month. This is the worst bank I have ever used.. For more than 5 weeks it has been a nightmare”

“After deciding against using the new HSBC dashboard I was recently presented with the new dashboard without any choice. Having worked in IT for over 35 years, including managing web design and customer service I find the new design the most uintuitive site I have ever visited. What kind of customer acceptance testing was ever carried out? Can I have the old version back please?”

“Absolute rubbish, worst bank I've ever been with. With them for business and no one wants to people, if they do they don't know much more then you and make you feel stupid, this issue isn't with one person, the whole company seems to run this way. They over complicate everything and then cant help you. I have never had as many troubles with banks as I've had with this one.”

“""Worse than useless! HSBC failed to pay my mortgage funds on time, leaving me homeless for 4 days, with all my belongings in a removal van, and hundreds of pounds out of pocket. Their explanation was to blame their conveyencer, (who they had chosen, and made me pay for). I'm still trying to get compensation through the Financial Ombudsman two months later. I would give them no stars, if that was an option!”
