Once contacted by a real person Jordan Christopher Field, problems setting up a second charity current account and resetting telephone banking were resolved in an efficient and friendly manner. Given that I had previously had unhelpful advice from secure messaging and told that I had had telephone calls that my phone never showed, HSBC needs to ensure they retain more staff to assist when required.

I’m a small start up business and I’ve had an HSBC business account for 2 months. As such I didn’t think I was important enough to take up their time, or established enough to ask for help. I was wrong. I dealt with a business advisor for HSBC today, Scott Gilder who was engaging, helpful and Knowledgeable and I finished on the phone with him feeling like I had someone in my corner.
His advice and help was spot on, taking time to discuss and listen in equal measures and he genuinely cared what was best for my new venture. I then received a follow up call from him personally, within a couple of hours having secured me some completely different assistance to that which I’d initially enquired about, that was far better suited to my company.
The whole experience was brilliant I feel like I now have the biggest high street bank in the world as part of my team.

Setting up a friendly society bank account.

Completing the online application we reached a point where we got an error message repeatedly so approached our local banking hub for assistance. Bettina was most helpful and competently guided us through the process. What was a chore became a satisfying experience. Thank you so much.

Rebecca was very helpful when i started having problems making payments

I was having problems with payments not debiting from my account. I was struggling to get any help from Virtual chat or various telephone numbers. A Relationship manager Rebecca got in touch and advised the reason for these issues and offered to try and help with my International payments not being processed still even though it was not really her area to deal with. Thanks to her help i have managed to resolve this issue and my payments are now going through as normal.
