“Shame minus starts can't be given..... Apparently my date of birth is not valid because it entails a digit larger than 9!! Trash Customer Service, Robot wastes your time taking you round and round in circles, bombards you with the most annoyingly irrelevant info, and then ends the conversation without further ado. Makes me ask, are they looking to bankrupt themselves?? What an excellent way to aim at achieving this.... It will definitely lose them customers. WARNING!! DON'T BANK WITH THIS BUNCH OF SCANDALOUS MARKETEERS MASQUERADING AS A PROFESSIONAL BANK! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!”

“Unless you plan on using your card strictly for grocery runs and gas, RUN in the other direction. I spoke with 3 representatives over the course of 2.5 hours only to be told there was no way they could help. Mind you, all I needed to do was make a large purchase. What makes it better is that I spoke to someone hours before and they were scheduled to call me back and just never did. Absolute JOKE. I’d rather keep my money in a mattress.”

“Tried to and am still trying after 3 weeks to open an account with HSBC at their request to start I provided them with bank statements, have made 3 follow up calls which take 40 plus minutes to get to speak to anyone. Still no response we are still working on it, yet my wife's is effectively open, although still to receive online banking code. Not recommended.”

“I've been an HSBC customer for absolutely years but their customer service recently is appalling even as a premier customer it takes you an hour to get through to speak to somebody who then reads a script and literally can't help. hopefully this review will elicit some sort of response that I can actually speak to somebody who knows what they're doing. GRRRRR!”

“It is ridiculously difficult to get through on the phone to HSBC online banking. The automated answer service asks questions that do not apply to the reason for my call. When I did get through, after 50 minutes waiting and listening to the recorded message, I was told their systems were down and to call back 3 or 4 hours later, by which time their lines would be closed. I called again the following day and again waited for ?? Minutes listening to the recorded message, You don’t need to wait for an agent..”

“I’ve had a bank account with HSBC for a couple of years now and tried to open an account for my son about a year ago. I received a message shortly after doing the application saying they are busy with the account and that they’ll get back to me. Is around a year now an d still no reply. In the mean time my Dan has opened an online monzo account and seems happy with it. About a month ago I then tried to open another child account for my daughter as she is still under age, once again I got the same message to say they are working on my application and will get back to me. No reply for around a month. HSBC customer service is really very bad. Don’t bother waisting your time to open a child account, even though they advertise for it, I don’t think they do it.”

“Absolutely dire. I am an online customer and I tried to open an online savings account. Unable to, as apparently I am a non UK tax resident. News to me, and how the hell would they know! I called the help desk with an alleged 7 min waiting time, held for 25 mins until the lines closed.”

“have been an acct holder since the 90s. I have never had a decent interaction with this bank nor any of its staff, save for the odd person in store. every time i call i have to wait on hold for over an hour. the mobile app won't let me join bc HSBC are unable to verify my details (a UK citizen since birth and an HSBC acct holder for nearly 30 years). they have charged me at every opportunity. i cannot suggest that any of their products have been competitive. they have closed accounts without given me adequate notice (because i did not reply to a letter sent to my spam email folder advising new terms which i had to agree to!!) This is a bank that treats its customers with utter contempt Do not ever open an account with them”

“HSBC have completely screwed me over and messed up everything for me. I spoke with someone on 21st oct about suspected fraud on my account and they decided to do an indemnity claim against my mobile provider at the same time! without me knowing this and without my permission. so yesterday my phone got blocked and the only way to unblock it is to pay a huge bill which a cannot afford and never received the refund in the first place. In the morning they confirmed to me that they have cancelled the claim and fixed my direct debits. TODAY i notice an email from my mobile company claiming my direct debits got cancelled yesterday evening. so all in all HSBC just decide to do whatever they want and go against your wishes and screw you over. now i have no mobile until the complaint is resolved. I am a carer and have no way of contacting my employer or him contacting me in case of an emergency. this is unacceptable behavior and extremely stressful. as soon as this is resolved i will be leaving HSBC because they clearly so not deserve my custom!”

“I've had suspected fraud on my online account. I've spoken to 4 different agents tonight and they've all ended up trying to transfer me to someone else and I end up getting cut off. I've wasted over an hour now going thought this mindless circle of events. I'm now giving up and hope to sort this out in branch tomorrow morning. Just going that of the account has been hacked that nothing happens over night!! Joke customer service. I've been with them since 2016 and will be closing the account now. The call handling staff are beyond Terrible”

“I've been with them for 30 years. Just tried to open a bonus saver account after logging on. Cannot find anywhere on the log on site to open a new savings account. The so called ''chat'' (just a bot I expect) Doesn't even work but comes up with GSA Error. The website used to be easy to use. They have had various changes over the last year or so and it appears to have been re designed by an idiot. They claim to be very concerned about their customers. If so, why is the website so difficult to use. There is currently a message on it that says. We're very busy at the moment so don't bother ringing us ! Unbelievable. I'm seriously thinking of changing my bank.”

“My Credit and debit accounts were defrauded. HSBC didn't notice the obviously strange transactions and that two accounts were opened in my name with large and unusual amounts being deducted daily for several weeks. Customer services are completely unhelpful. I regularly tried to contact the fraud department and was continually transferred to a different department who just asked me to call someone else or transferred me to someone else who then transferred me to another fraud department. It was impossible to speak to anybody who could help and there was no feedback at all as to what, if anything, was going on. My local branch had the same problem. After over two weeks I had no feedback but know that both accounts had been "inhibited". I was told that my gold card a/c had been re-opened and was sent two credit cards. Neither me nor my branch could activate them. This has been continuing for over 2 weeks and there has been no help from anyone. My wife is terminally ill and I cannot pay any bills at at all and no standing orders or direct debits are met. I am appalled at the hopeless manner they fail respond to my enquiries. I continue to spend interminable time on phone calls and just get transferred to someone else who then transfers me again. I am truly disgusted in their behaviour, particularly whilst they know I am going through a very difficult time. I have lodged a formal complaint but needless to say have received no response. Customer service and the numerous fraud departments are of absolutely no help and I am in despair as to how to manage while this is going on.”

“I wish I had read these reviews sooner. I am a new customer. I wanted to find out how much I owe & how to pay it. Because I couldn't remember my credit limit my account is now blocked. 2 calls of 45 minute waiting time with one VERY rude agent who blocked my account then 3 hours of going round in circles being asked non relevant questions by a robot - I'm done. Fortunately I do not bank with them so they can chase me when my card payment is due then I will close it all down. AVOID”

“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.”
