I visited HSBC Bridgnorth branch today and was greeted and helped by a lovely lady called Anita. Very friendly and helpful trying to help me change a standing order that I was having trouble with. Whilst assisting me she also mentioned that I could open a savers account to earn money rather than in my other account where it wasn’t earning any interest at all. She also called me back because she found my bank card which I’d left on the side by mistake. Thank you so much Anita you were fab. 10/10 for customer service x

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, Anna! It sounds like your experience at our Bridgnorth branch was fantastic, especially with Anita's help, and that she went above and beyond, not only helping and supporting you with your standing order but also suggesting a Savings Account so that you can earn more. It's also nice to hear that she called you about your card. It's great to hear that you had such a positive experience! 🏦

Hi Kenny! 👋 We are currently experiencing a high volume of requests, and have a backlog of ISAs waiting to be opened, which is resulting in longer than usual processing times. Transfers from other providers will still qualify for the reward offer, as long as you've completed a transfer application, we've received it by Monday 11th May 2026, and other criteria's are met. Please note that this can take up to 30 calendar days as an industry standard, with transfers taking up to 70 days. You won't lose out financially, and will receive the full amount, including backdating, as well as remaining eligible for the incentive. Thank you for your patience. 💷 -Jack

Customer since 1985

A current account was opened in 1985 with Midland Bank. HSBC has been responsive and secure with all my accounts since then.

My bank account is in Bracknell

My bank account is in Bracknell, myself and the family moved to Warrington, however, we did not move our account. I generally use the online facility and have no problems with this, the staff in the Warrington branch are very helpful if I need to see someone face to face for a specific question.

HSBC has been our bank for decades

HSBC has been our bank for decades and we’ve always had good service. Have a UK call centre is what has kept us with HSBC. We’ve used many of their services, loans, mortgages, overdrafts, private and business accounts, investments and much more. They treat us well and we stay loyal.
It would be good to have travel insurance, but being over 70 is the cut off despite very good health and fitness.
It is almost impossible to provide feedback. The autobot is annoying and a closed loop system. The list of payees is not a list of payees but a list of payees + reference. Multiple different payments to one payee can fill up the limited list. This really should be changed.
But we like HSBC and will stay with them.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback and for banking with HSBC for so many decades. We’re pleased to hear you’ve consistently received good service and that having a UK call centre has been an important reason you’ve stayed with us. It’s also great to know you’ve trusted us with a wide range of services over the years, and we appreciate your loyalty.

We’re sorry to hear your frustration around travel insurance eligibility, the difficulty in providing feedback, and your experience with the chatbot. We also understand your point about the payee list showing payees plus references, which can quickly use up the limited space when you make multiple payments to the same organisation. We’ll take this on board and share it with the relevant teams as part of our ongoing improvements.

Thank you again for taking the time to tell us what’s working well and what needs to be better. We hope you enjoy the rest of your day 😊

I have banked with HSBC for 20 years

I have banked with HSBC for 20 years, and I must say it is one of the best banks I have ever used.Over the years, I have experienced some financial difficulties, and HSBC has always been incredibly supportive. They have helped me cope during challenging times through the services and assistance they provide.Like any organization, there may occasionally be one or two individuals who are not as understanding of certain situations. However, I have been fortunate to speak with many excellent customer service advisors who have consistently been professional, compassionate, and helpful.HSBC has always been customer-focused, and having banked with other institutions in the past, I can confidently say they are exceptional at what they do.Thank you, HSBC, for all your support over the years!

I have been with the HSBC for around 45…

I have been with the HSBC for around 45 years. Ive had loans which ive always paid back on time. Never been overdrawn. Have a balance in current account of aound £1000 pounds always. A year ago i needed a new lap top urgently so i applied for a £2000 loan. Used the automated system and was turned down. No reason given. In the end i managed to loan the £2000 which has been paid back. I have around 90000 with the hsbc. I would say im a loyal customer and this is not how you should treat them.

Longtime satisfied customer

I have been a longtime customer of HSBC joining the Midland Bank as a student. I find the services to be comprehensive and generally customer focused. The online banking is easy to use although I do miss the interaction with people and now if I need a branch it is a ten mile journey away. There has never been any incentive offered by other banks that have made me think of leaving HSBC. I am a loyal customer and think that over 50 years with them shows how much I think of them.
